Third Match Announced For NXT TakeOver

A new challenger has emerged for the NXT Title.

Tonight on NXT the main event was what they called a Gauntlet eliminator to determine the number one contender to the NXT Title at NXT TakeOver of October 4th. In the match, we saw Kushida, Kyle O’Reilly, Bronson reed, Timothy Thatcher, and Cameron Grimes.

By the end of the match, it came down to Cameron Grimes and Kyle O’Reilly. O’Reilly started as one of the first two and he was tired by the end. Grimes almost had the match won a few times before O’Reilly fired back up and was able to takeout and defeat Grimes.

The #GauntletEliminator just became 𝘊𝘖𝘓𝘖𝘚𝘚𝘈𝘓!

This will be the first time that Kyle O’Reilly will be challenging for the NXT Championship. O’Reilly is no stranger to fighting for or even being the top champion as he is a former Ring Of Honor World Champion. He lost that title to Adam Cole before leaving ROH. Now O’Reilly will challenge Finn Balor at TakeOver for the NXT Title.
