WWE NXT is all geared up for another edition of TakeOver: WarGames this December. This will be the fourth time NXT Superstars will compete at WarGames, and it will also be the fourth time the Undisputed ERA will be competing in a WarGames match.
The Undisputed ERA won their first-ever WarGames contest but have faced defeat in the previous two editions of the match. Adam Cole will be looking to end this extremely personal rivalry with Pat McAfee this time around, while The Kings of NXT will be out to prove a point.
While there are many Superstars who could run interference during the match, we could end up getting a very clean match with Undisputed ERA playing the faces for the first time around.
The Kings of NXT will be looking to score their first victory as a faction, and McAfee could end up going to any extent to prove his claim of being the best four-man faction in WWE currently.
With so much on the line, fans can expect a highly physical and entertaining contest where we will most likely get a conclusive ending.
With that in mind, we will look at the five potential finishes to the match between Undisputed ERA and Kings of NXT at NXT TakeOver: WarGames.
#5 Killian Dain returns to haunt The Kings of NXT at TakeOver: WarGames
While Undisputed ERA have been the prime target of the Kings of NXT, let’s not forget that the heels viciously beat down Drake Maverick and Killian Dain a month ago.
Dain has been out of action since Pete Dunne rammed him with a car door, and rest assured, The Beast of Belfast will be looking for some revenge.
Undisputed ERA may not have made many friends in NXT, but it seems like Pat McAfee, and his faction has already made a few enemies. Their past actions could come back to haunt them at TakeOver: WarGames, and we could watch Dain appear alone or with Maverick to attack the Kings of NXT at the show to weaken their side.
If WWE is planning to hand the Kings of NXT a loss during their first outing, then they could use outside interference to help cushion their loss. Dain could end up being the perfect Superstar to cost the Kings of NXT their first big match at TakeOver: WarGames.
#4 A new member of Kings of NXT helps them pick up the win at NXT TakeOver: WarGames
Kings of NXT claim to be the greatest four-man faction in WWE history, even though they are yet to compete together even once. However, they could look to expand their faction at NXT TakeOver: WarGames.
Pat McAfee initially had his eyes on Ridge Holland but claimed that he had to change his plans after the latter got injured. While we could end up seeing him appear during TakeOver: WarGames, chances are slim as he underwent surgery to correct the damage done to his legs.
While Holland might be out, McAfee and the rest of Kings of NXT could have an ace up their sleeve. Last week, a man in a mask and hood knocked down Kyle O’Reilly from the ladder, and it’s possible that whoever it was wanted to impress McAfee and join the faction.
During WarGames, we could see someone like Austin Theory, The Velveteen Dream, or even The Grizzled Young Veterans appear to help Kings of NXT pick up their first victory in WWE.
WWE could be looking to expand Kings of NXT and outnumber Undisputed ERA on the brand, and this could be the perfect opportunity to introduce another member to the faction.
#3 Adam Cole pins Pat McAfee to win Undisputed ERA their second NXT TakeOver: WarGames match
While Pat McAfee may be a stranger to most of the men in WWE NXT, he is no stranger to Adam Cole. The former NXT Champion competed against McAfee when the pro-footballer entered the ring for his first match and gave him a tough fight.
While the rivalry between Cole and McAfee was very personal, it has become even more personal with the inclusion of the rest of Undisputed ERA and the members of Kings of NXT.
Cole will be looking to lead Undisputed ERA to victory, and he could be the man to pin McAfee once again to win them their second WarGames match.
Undisputed ERA has more experience than anyone else in WarGames matches, as this will be the fourth time they’ll be entering the cage. Pete Dunne, on the other hand, is the only man from Kings of NXT who has appeared in a WarGames match before.
This could be The Panama City Playboy’s big chance to show the world that The Undisputed ERA is indeed the best four-man faction in all of WWE.
#2 Kyle O’Reilly turns on Undisputed ERA to cost them the match at NXT TakeOver: WarGames
Over the past few months, Kyle O’Reilly has suddenly found himself in the spotlight on NXT. While Undisputed ERA usually pushed Adam Cole and Roderick Strong for singles titles in NXT, O’Reilly showed what he’s got during his match against Finn Balor for the NXT Championship. During the November 25 episode of NXT, KOR competed against Pete Dunne for a chance to earn the advantage for Undisputed ERA at TakeOver: WarGames.
KOR’s rise to success has been welcomed by many, and his performances have clearly shown why he deserves more singles opportunities in NXT.
Keeping that in mind, NXT could plan to break KOR from Undisputed ERA come TakeOver: WarGames. During the WarGames match, O’Reilly could turn on Cole, Strong, and Bobby Fish and help Kings of NXT win.
This could either allow Kyle O'Reilly to side with Kings of NXT or finally go on a singles run that could end up with him challenging for the titles or even going on to win them.
#1 Pete Dunne picks up the first victory for Kings of NXT
As mentioned before, Pete Dunne is the only Superstar from Kings of NXT who has appeared in a WarGames match. This will be the second time Dunne will be locked inside the cage at NXT TakeOver: WarGames.
Dunne is also arguably the biggest and most experienced wrestler in Kings of NXT and could take the lead during the big WarGames match against Undisputed ERA.
Keeping in mind how Undisputed ERA has failed to win their previous two WarGames matches and how Dunne has led The Viking Raiders and Ricochet to victory in a WarGames match in the past, we could watch him do the same once again.
During the show, Dunne could be the main man for Kings of NXT, and he could end up pinning Adam Cole or some other Superstar from UE to pick up the victory for his team.
Kings of NXT will need to win their first match together to come across as a threat, and a loss will break their claim of being the best four-man faction in WWE. Therefore, Dunne could be the workhorse of the group who could pin one of the members of Undisputed ERA to pick up the first big victory for his team.
