#3 NXT TakeOver: Stand & Deliver, WALTER vs Tommaso Ciampa, NXT UK Championship
WALTER has made a huge impact since his return to television, and subsequently, since his championship match was announced for NXT TakeOver: Stand & Deliver. The stakes are high between WALTER and Ciampa, as there is not only the NXT UK Championship on the line, but Timothy Thatcher is also involved, with the champion wanting him for Imperium.
WALTER is one of the most exciting stars of NXT right now, and Ciampa has been consistent as one of the top talents of the Black and Gold brand for years. Given the high stakes between the pair, this could be one of the best matches of the two nights.
#2 NXT TakeOver: Stand & Deliver, Io Shirai vs Raquel Gonzalez, NXT Women's Championship
Io Shirai has been NXT Women's Champion for almost a year. Since she won the championship at NXT TakeOver: In Your House from Charlotte Flair, she has torn through the women's division of the brand, defeating pretty much every woman in her path.
The rivalry between Shirai and Gonzalez has been bubbling over the past few months, ever since Gonzalez pinned Shirai at NXT TakeOver: WarGames. The two women have been warring on NXT ever since Gonzalez and Dakota Kai lost the tag team titles to Ember Moon and Shotzi Blackheart.
The rivalry between the two women feels like the biggest of Shirai's title reign, and is a worthy headliner for night one.
#1 NXT TakeOver: Stand & Deliver, Adam Cole vs Kyle O'Reilly
The implosion of the Undisputed ERA has been one of the biggest moments in NXT history. The faction had been pretty much running NXT over the past few years, so to see them come to blows has been a long time coming.
Over the past few months, Kyle O'Reilly has been being built as a singles competitor, and also as a babyface. Seeing Adam Cole finally turn on O'Reilly has set up potentially one of the biggest ever rivalries on the brand, and the momentum has been building up more and more recently.
The rivalry between Adam Cole and Kyle O'Reilly has been captivating for fans, and it will be great to see the pair finally come to blows in their unsanctioned match at NXT TakeOver: Stand & Deliver.
