NXT has been on fire lately. 2018 has proven to be quite a successful year for NXT so far. From multiple five-star matches to intense story-lines and amazing arrivals (EC3, Keith Lee, Ricochet etc.), there's no denying that NXT has been giving the main-roster a run for its money.
All signs are pointing towards an amazing fourth quarter of 2018 for the Black & Yellow brand.

NXT's next Takeover event is scheduled to take place on November 17th, 2018 during the Survivor Series weekend. It will most likely be called "NXT Takeover: WarGames II". The event will feature the titular WarGames match.
As of now, there's very little we know about the event and the matches it will feature. There are two sets of tapings scheduled to take place over the next two months.
The next set of tapings will most likely take place next week and episodes for a month will be recorded. These tapings will also answer many questions we have regarding the next Takeover Event.
So, here are five story-line developments likely to happen on the next set of tapings.
#5 Kassius Ohno Continues His Streak
Lately, Kassius Ohno has started realizing how irrelevant he has become since returning to NXT. Ohno's return to NXT was very well received but he has lost all that spark by putting over up and coming Superstars. Ohno stated last week that there would always be someone new and fresh coming to NXT and that he would be the first one from now on to knock him out.
Many people believed that the rant against new arrivals would mean that Ohno's next opponent would either be Keith Lee or Matt Riddle.
If Ohno gets a match against any of these Superstars at WarGames II, then it would be announced during the final set of tapings prior to WarGames II. For now, expect Ohno to arrive, knock some new guys out and leave.
#4 Forgotten Sons Continue to Dominate
Steve Cutler, Wesley Blake and Jaxson Ryker's new stable, The Forgotten Sons has the potential to do something big on NXT.
The group had its first match last week on NXT. Blake and Cutler defeated The Street Profits. Jaxson will be in singles action next week.
Before the trio finds itself in a meaningful story-line, expect The Forgotten Sons to lay waste to mid-card talents.
Expect them to start a feud with either The Heavy Machinery or Burch and Lorcan soon. The Trio would most likely be sitting the upcoming TakeOver event out.
However, if there are any long-term plans for them, expect them to start creating havoc and raking up W's so they could find themselves in a meaningful story-line by the start of next year.
#3 4 vs. 4 WarGames Match
Ever since NXT Takeover: Brooklyn IV, Fans have been expecting to see a star-studded WarGames match pitting The Undisputed Era against Ricochet & The War Raiders and The British Strong Style.
The Stakes would be high as all titles would likely be on the line (North American Championship, Tag Team Championships and the UK Championship). If this turns out to be true, expect a possible MOTY candidate.
Judging by the most recent episode, however, it looks like the Creative might be planning something slightly different.
Instead of the 9-man WarGames match between 3 teams, we might be getting a 4 vs. 4 WarGames match between The Undisputed Era (featuring the returning Bobby Fish) and the team of Ricochet, Pete Dunne and the War Raiders. However, you should still expect all the titles to be on the line.
#2 Velveteen Dream Steps Up to Ciampa
When you have feuded and put on amazing matches with Superstars like Ricochet, Aleister Black, EC3 and Johhny Gargano, consider yourself worthy enough to challenge for the World Title.
Velveteen Dream has been on fire since last year. He has shown that he could work with any Superstar. It's high time Dream gets a shot at the NXT World Title.
Currently, Ciampa doesn't have an opponent for NXT Takeover: WarGames II but we would probably find out his opponent over the next four weeks.
The most logical choice would be to give Velveteen Dream a Championship match. A Dream vs. Ciampa match has money written all over it. Moreover, this feud between the two would also help in temporarily sidelining the Gargano/Ciampa feud and prevent it from getting stale.
#1 Aleister Black Returns
The NXT GM Willaim Regal hopes that he finds out the identity of Aleister Black's attacker before the former World Champion returns to the Black & Yellow brand.
Aleister was supposed to be out for a few weeks following his surgery last month. If those reports were true, then Black should be cleared by now. Expect Black to make his return on the next set of tapings.
If Black returns before the mystery of his attacker gets resolved, expect some innocent faces to feel the wrath of the Black Mass.
It's still unclear who attacked Black but Johnny Gargano, Matt Riddle, and the Forgotten Sons are the front-runners.
Aleister Black would most likely face his attacker at WarGames II and expect his return and the story-line to progress over the next few weeks.
