No Kassius Ohno makes me wonder what is really going on with him. Is he hurt? Is he being punished? Ohno vs. Itami should have been the match because of their long history and build over the past two months. Aleister Black, who I absolutely love and think has main event potential, will get the call and the win over Hideo Itami. He has all of the tools to be next up in the NXT Championship picture. I can see a transition of where they let him chase Roode, McIntyre, Strong and others to claim the championship. He has that “IT” factor.

The match at NXT Takeover III is going to be fun. Hard hitting and physical, kicking combinations and submission holds are the name of the game here. Thank God Hideo Itami is a full heel now. After multiple injuries, he is finally in stride and finding what can separate him from all of the other talent in NXT. At the end of Takeover, I think many people are going to remember this match as one that made us all believe that Aleister Black will be a champion in the next 4 months.

Next Up…Can history be made?
