WWE NXT TakeOver: Philadelphia - 7 matches we must see at the show

NXT TakeOver: Philadelphia
What matches should the next edition of NXT TakeOver show us?

#2. Lars Sullivan vs. Cezar Bononi (Pre-Show)

Lars Sullivan NXT
Would the freak be able to do this to a 6'8" giant?

After a dominant performance against Kassius Ohno, Lars Sullivan doesn't look like he'll be stopped anytime soon. A series of squash matches against jobbers will certainly occupy his time for the next few months, as it's likely still too soon to insert him into any feud with more prominent people or the title picture. Yet, at the same time, it's important to keep building his momentum.

Right now, Cezar Bononi looks like the only one who can credibly give Sullivan a fight at this part of his journey. The 6'8" bruiser looks the part and this would give him a bigger stage to show what he can do.

Perhaps this runs longer than the match with Kassius Ohno did, but it would inevitably have a similar result. After taking Sullivan off his feet a few times, Bononi takes a Freak Accident for the pin.
