#1 Kyle O’Reilly pins Adam Cole inside the steel cage to pick up the win at NXT TakeOver 36
Kyle O’Reilly has the most to gain from the contest at WWE NXT TakeOver 36. He is a rising singles star who was previously seen as a tag team specialist.
Meanwhile, Adam Cole could be on his way out of WWE or the creative team could offer to move him to the main roster soon. The uncertainty around his current status could have a big influence on the outcome of the match.
NXT could allow Kyle O’Reilly to pick up the first fall in the stipulation he’s chosen. Cole could then go on to pin O’Reilly in the Street Fight to tie the score.
The final fall will take place inside a Steel Cage, and NXT could look to give both men several near falls. Kool Kyle could then be allowed to lock Cole in the heel hook to make him suffer and tap out to win the contest.
A submission victory will give KOR a big boost and will allow him to return to the top of NXT again. Depending on his contract, Adam Cole could look to exit WWE or move to the main roster after NXT TakeOver 36.
