4 matches have been confirmed already for Takeover but more could be announced on tonight’s show.
NXT 6/6/18 Preview
Tommaso Ciampa Addresses His Street Fight with Johnny Gargano
- At Takeover Chicago the epic rivalry between Tommaso Ciampa and Johnny Gargano will continue. They will meet in a street fight in Chicago in a match which might finally bring this long-running blood feud to an end. Tonight, Ciampa plans to address his match at Takeover: Chicago with the fans at Full Sail University.
Nikki Cross Segment
- Last week, Nikki Cross saved Dakota Kai from a post-match beatdown by Shayna Baszler. Cross then challenged the champion to an impromptu match and won after Kai counted the 3-count. The match was unofficial, of course, and Cross did not actually win the championship.
- The NXT Women’s Championship still doesn’t have an official match at Takeover: Chicago, perhaps Cross’ segment tonight could lead to such a match being confirmed.
Roderick Strong vs Danny Burch
- Oney Lorcan and Danny Burch will challenge the Undisputed Era at Takeover: Chicago for the NXT tag-team championships. This week, Danny Burch will face Roderick Strong in one-on-one action. Burch scored the win for his team (with Lorcan and Pete Dunne) over the 3 healthy members of Undisputed Era (O’Reilly, Strong, and Cole) recently on NXT.
Kairi Sane vs Lacey Evans
- Evans pulled off a huge upset the last time these two met in single’s action back in May. Sane had defeated Evans back in April, however. As the two are 1-and-1 with each other, this match here will be the rubber match. The winner likely moves into the title picture following Takeover: Chicago and the loser does not.
Matches Already Confirmed for Takeover: Chicago:
- NXT Tag Team Championships
Undisputed Era (c) vs Oney Lorcan and Danny Burch - NXT Championship
Aleister Black (c) vs Lars Sullivan - Street Fight
Johnny Gargano vs Tommaso Ciampa - Ricochet vs Velveteen Dream
