Backstage News On Original Plans For NXT Title Match At TakeOver: War Games

The original plan for last night’s NXT Takeover PPV was reportedly for Adam Cole to challenge Drew McIntyre for the NXT Title.

Once the decision to bring back WarGames was made, WWE changed plans and went with Andrade “Cien” Almas as the challenger instead.

It’s possible that Cole will be Almas’ next opponent for the NXT Title if McIntyre needs surgery for a torn bicep.
