#4 NXT TakeOver: In Your House gets its first big match

The newest WWE Superstar Karrion Kross arrived to kick off NXT this week along with Scarlett Bordeaux and competed in a match against Liam Gray. As expected, Kross made his lesser-known opponent tap out to the Kross Jacket to end the match quickly.

After the match, former NXT Champion Tommaso Ciampa arrived to welcome Kross to the Black and Gold brand before stating that he’d face Kross at NXT TakeOver: In Your House.

NXT is looking to build a big match for WWE's next big event

This was a simple yet effective segment to build towards the first match announced for the big event. Kross may be new to NXT, but the WWE Universe is aware of his skills and his work outside the company.

Ciampa, on the other hand, needs no introduction. Even though he lost his previous match to Johnny Gargano, he remains NXT’s top star and can end up having a great rivalry with the newcomer.

Such a big rivalry could help Kross aim right for the top within months of his arrival, while Ciampa needs to rebuild slowly and become the biggest Superstar on the brand once again.

NXT fans can expect a great TakeOver event early next month!
