Finn Balor defeated Adam Cole to win the vacant WWE NXT Championship a couple of weeks ago. With the newly announced NXT TakeOver event coming up in two weeks, WWE plans to crown a worthy first challenger for the title.

A Gauntlet Eliminator Match will crown the number one contender to Balor’s title, and we will see several WWE Superstars compete in this first-time match.

We could see someone like KUSHIDA, Roderick Strong, or Ridge Holland come out as the victor of the match, giving Balor a whole new challenger to face for the title. While WWE NXT will try to look for the best possible contender for Balor, The Prince should appear after the match to attack the winner.

With TakeOver around the corner, NXT will need to build a storyline. More importantly, WWE needs to generate some heat between Balor and his challenger rather than just booking a match between them without any story.

Simply....Lovely. #BOTHERCAUSER #Ridge #Tipofthecap #Northerngrit #WWENXT #WWE #NXTUK #Yorkshire I’ll be seein ya. pic.twitter.com/J8fYdj9yQt

Allowing The Prince to attack the eventual winner of the Gauntlet Eliminator Match will reestablish the champion as a heel and allow him to gain the upper hand. WWE can then develop the feud on the final episode of NXT before TakeOver.
