NXT TakeOver: In Your House: 5 Possible finishes for Tommaso Ciampa Vs. Karrion Kross  

#1 Kross wins in dominant fashion

Does the same fate await Ciampa?

This one would probably be unpopular with a lot of Ciampa fans but I think it is the route that needs to be taken by WWE at TakeOver. Ciampa is essentially a made man in NXT and has been one of the top performers throughout his run. He's held the NXT Tag Team titles and we've seen him rule over the black and gold brand as its champion.

In order to make the biggest splash possible and help introduce a huge new threat to the brand, Kross should essentially squash Ciampa. It could be in under three or four minutes, but Ciampa should get in little offense and be destroyed by the a vicious Kross.

By essentially squashing "The Blackheart", who is a good 50 pounds and five inches shorter than Kross, it gives NXT one of its first real monster heels in a long time. The last such monster heels I can remember were Lars Sullivan and the Authors Of Pain. Unlike these others, however, Kross can cut great promos and is flanked by someone who is just as dangerous as he is.

With a quick and decisive win over Ciampa, or a match similar to when Brock Lesnar smashed Ricochet at Super Showdown earlier this year, it establishes that Kross is the real deal and someone that the rest of the performers need to take notice of. The same was supposed to be happening with Lance Archer and Wardlow in AEW but they both lost to Cody. Those losses took some of the luster off of the monsters.

A great aura can quickly be lost - and that cannot and should not happen with Karrion Kross. A quick win is the way to go in my opinion.
