5 possible bouts for the WWE NXT TakeOver: New York match-card

#2 Matt Riddle vs. Adam Cole vs. The Velveteen Dream (C) - NXT North American Championship

Velveteen Dream

Velveteen Dream has just won the NXT North American Championship from Johnny Gargano, but on the next taping, he was immediately greeted with two elite level challengers. Both Matt Riddle and Adam Cole have staked their claim to the new champion, so a Triple Threat seems like a great option right now.

If NXT runs a #1 contenders match between Riddle and Cole before we get to TakeOver, that would make sense too, considering the women's bout is likely a Fatal 4-Way, but the thought of a Triple Threat is exciting.

You don't want either Riddle or Dream to lose right now, so a Triple Threat allows neither to eat a pin in what will be a huge bout, and it plays into the story of The Undisputed Era struggling to get wins right now, so it's the best option.
