NXT Takeover: Philadelphia – Aleister Black v Adam Cole – Prediction

Who Wins?

Another very tight match, but I’m going for Black.

Thoughts?

I think this will be the match of the night.

Black always seems to have special matches at Takeover’s.

They will also want to book Cole somewhat strongly too, so he can be an NXT Champion in the future.

I can see this match lasting the best part of half an hour, given there aren’t a lot of matches on the show for the amount of time there is.

There will most likely be some form of interference, given that Cole is part of a heel faction.

Think Black will eventually hit the Black Mass that will get him the win.

Question – Who do you think will win this match?

You can tell that the WWE Universe clearly weren’t happy with the decision to let Reigns win this Rumble.
