NXT will officially be moving over to the USA Network on September 18th. We have put together 5 matches that could potentially main event the first live episode.
5) Adam Cole vs Pete Dunne For The NXT Championship
I think that a fun main event for the first live NXT episode would be Adam Cole vs Pete Dunne for the NXT Championship.
I love the in-ring chemistry between Dunne and Cole. Also, I think that they could tear the roof off of the place if given another chance.
This would be a match where NXT could really showcase the in-ring quality that NXT can deliver. Both are two of the very best on the roster. WWE will want to market that NXT is something different than both RAW and Smackdown. A great work rate match like Dunne vs Cole could be a strong choice here.
This could make for a fun match to main event the first live episode.
4) Johnny Gargano vs A WWE Main Roster Superstar
If you were to ask me who the greatest Superstar in NXT history is, I would say Johnny Gargano. I think that he has put on the greatest matches out of anyone in the history of the brand. I would put his Takeover resume up against anybody.
As a result, there is nobody better in my eyes to main event the first episode of NXT on USA. The question is, who would he face?
I could easily see WWE bringing down a Superstar from RAW or Smackdown to face Gargano in the main event. It would make sense because WWE will want to help pop a rating for the first episode. Bringing in a bigger name could help do that.
My personal choice would be Johnny Gargano vs Daniel Bryan, which would be a dope match. I would also love Gargano vs Cesaro, AJ Styles, or Shinsuke Nakamura. Any of those would be great choices in my eyes.
