Drew McIntyre is in WWE once again, but he is a changed man. While his 3MB compadre, 'The Maharaja' Jinder Mahal, rules the roost as the WWE Champion, McIntyre has the opportunity to become the NXT Champion in Brooklyn. He takes on Bobby Roode, arguably the best heel NXT Champion in recent memory, and definitely the champ with the catchiest entrance theme in WWE today. Their clash should be titanic — the expression that is. We do not mean a sinking ship, in this case at least.

The X-Factor in this match is Roderick Strong, a man who still has unfinished business with Bobby Roode. Will he make an appearance at Takeover, and tip the balance in McIntyre's favour? Will his interference cause McIntyre to not become NXT Champion? We will take the plunge, and say that Drew McIntyre wins the big match.
Winner: Drew McIntyre
