#3 Karrion Kross vs. Tommaso Ciampa
This story pretty much writes itself. Kross's first feud in WWE was with Tommaso Ciampa. This bitter rivalry reached its climax at NXT Takeover: In Your House. Kross had a very strong showing, and he squashed Ciampa in a short match. This contest was Kross's first major bout in NXT, and he absolutely destroyed Ciampa. At the end of the match, Kross stood tall over the former NXT Champion.
After this crushing defeat at the hands of "The Herald of Doomsday", Ciampa took a break. "The Blackheart" returned to NXT with a new attitude, and Ciampa probably hasn't forgotten about this loss. Ciampa might hope to avenge this defeat. If he does, this feud could be a compelling story.
Ciampa recently defeated Timothy Thatcher at NXT Takeover: WarGames. NXT should revisit this rivalry soon because "The Blackheart" and Kross both have a lot of momentum right now. This battle of NXT Champions could help both men remain prominent players on the black-and-gold brand.
