Not since Godzilla battled King Kong had two monsters the likes of Killian Dain and Lars Sullivan locked horns. Both super-heavyweights threw caution to the wind just days before they compete in the NXT North American Title Six-Man Ladder Match at TakeOver: New Orleans. Once the supersized clash ascended the turnbuckles, however, the match took a gnarly turn, as The Beast of Belfast rocked The Freak with a headbutt, causing both Superstars to tumble to the floor.

Sensing an opportunity, Velveteen Dream, another competitor in Saturday’s Ladder Match, entered the fray and threatened to leap onto Dain and Sullivan. He switched gears, however, when Adam Cole scrambled into the squared circle, followed by yet another NXT North American Title Mach participant, EC3.

Not to be left out of the fun, “The One and Only” Ricochet then sprung into the center of the ring as his TakeOver opponents surrounded him. With the NXT Universe excitedly chanting Ricochet’s name and all eyes glued on the acclaimed high-flyer, a tense standoff ensued as NXT went off the air.

Which Superstar will add his name to the record books and become the inaugural NXT North American Champion this Saturday in New Orleans?
