While no matches were made official for TakeOver: War Games II in Los Angeles on November 17th, the direction that NXT is taking to get there has become far clearer. Although it's become a cliche with every TakeOver right now, we might be in store for one of NXT's best shows ever three months from now.

What matches have been hinted at in Los Angeles? While the lingering question of Aleister Black remains unsolved, here's what the rest of NXT's next super card might look like.

#1 Kassius Ohno vs. Matt Riddle

Ohno had quite the words for the audience last night

After a victory over Kona Reeves, Kassius Ohno acknowledged his career's stagnation over the past year or so. He remarked that he's been losing left and right to all the hot new acts which seem to be passing him by.

Wanting to prove himself, Ohno stated that he would stand up to any new arrival in NXT and not repeat the same experience again.

With Keith Lee otherwise occupied, there's only one guy who currently fits that description - Matt Riddle.

While the King of the Bros wasn't to be found at last night's tapings, his arrival is imminent and could come as early as the next set on September 20th.

As the newest debutante to the yellow brand, Matt Riddle will want to make an impact right away while Kassius Ohno won't want him to.

Ultimately, they'll square off at TakeOver: War Games II, with the result never truly being in doubt. We can predict the winner even three months away.

#2 NXT Women's Championship: Kairi Sane (c) vs. Bianca Belair

Another blast from the past

The new NXT Women's Champion was all smiles last night. Shayna Baszler isn't gone yet and insisted on a rematch, but whether it comes at the next set of tapings or at Evolution, it doesn't matter, as it appears a main roster call up is imminent.

That leaves Bianca Belair as the clear next in line.

Hot off the heels of a victory against Deonna Purrazzo at the TakeOver: Brooklyn pre-show, Bianca is now embroiled in a mini-feud with Nikki Cross which certainly appears to be as a warmup for War Games.

Kairi Sane and Bianca Belair have been kept separate since last year's Mae Young Classic, but they're almost certain to collide in Los Angeles.

#3 NXT Championship: Tommaso Ciampa (c) vs. Velveteen Dream

This time, they'll be opponents on a much bigger stage

Last night's tapings opened with a remorseful Johnny Gargano acknowledging his failures, that he'd become what he hated most, and that Tommaso Ciampa's title reign is his fault. Velveteen Dream was quick to interrupt the confessional, declaring that Johnny Wrestling was Johnny Failure and that it was his time now.

GM William Regal made a match between the two, which Dream would go on to win.

Although nothing is official yet, it looks like Gargano's star is falling out of the title picture and Dream's is rising into it. With many of the other biggest names otherwise occupied, this one looks like it will be certain.

#4 War Games match: The Undisputed Era vs. British Strong Style vs. War Raiders and Ricochet vs. Oney Lorcan, Danny Burch, and Keith Lee

Bigger, worse, more brutal

If you thought the three-team War Games match of last year was great, it looks like this year, NXT is planning on supersizing it.

The interactions between the various members of The Undisputed Era, Pete Dunne, Ricochet, and War Raiders came as no surprise, but what did surprise was the reappearance of Oney Lorcan and Danny Burch, who has unfinished business with the Undisputed Era from TakeOver: Chicago II in June.

Keith Lee also inserted himself into the chaos, stopping Adam Cole's escape dead in its tracks.

All four of these squads look set to go to war. Get hyped!
