#3 Kross wins a competitive match
This is probably the outcome most fans are expecting because Kross really shouldn't lose in his first major NXT match. By having the men go back and forth, it protects some of Ciampa's aura since he is one of the biggest stars in NXT. He's a former NXT Champion and has been a part of some of the best storylines in brand history.
"The Blackheart" also represents a huge step up in competition for Karrion Kross and will obviously put up more of a fight than any of his previous NXT opponents. A 10-minute match where Ciampa gets offense in and even controls the action for a spell is the best way to ensure that both men have a chance to shine. Ciampa doesn't get squashed, but Kross gets a much-needed win.
For those familiar with Kross' work in other promotions, you know that he is more than capable of working a longer match - and is not reliant on quick squash matches as the only source of his dominance. There are six matches at this Sunday's TakeOver, so this may be one of the shorter matches. Ciampa could put up a fight - but go down in a blaze of glory in the end.
