10 Questions from NXT Takeover: Chicago that most need answering

#6 Could the show have done with another couple of matches?

Why isn’t he in the ring?

For the past few weeks, I have been mentioning how stacked and loaded the NXT roster is currently looking. I assumed this would result in having several different matches featured on last night's Takeover Show. Instead, we were left wondering why some of the other featured talents were not included. There is a buzz around the NXT product at the moment, mainly because there are so many male and female competitors that are sparking some interest.

Guys like Drew McIntyre, Cien Almas, Cassius Ono and Alistair Black, aren't that far away from the championship picture, so this really should have been an opportunity to showcase them. Next week on NXT we will McIntyre take on Blake Murphy, a match that theoretically could have featured last night instead. Alistair Black is known for having somewhat short matches anyway, so could they not have squeezed him in somewhere instead of just having him watch?

Sooner or later, the NXT Championship picture is going to be looking rather cosy. McIntyre has declared his intentions, as has Roderick Strong. Even Eric Young might be thrown in there at some point. Takeover shows need to be occasions where guys like this get a showing outside of the usual one hour of content you get on a Wednesday night. A few matches here and there wouldn't have hurt the show at all, and maybe could have elevated it that much more.
