5 Reasons to Watch NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn

WWE.com

Ladder Match!

The main event of NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn will feature Finn Balor defending his NXT Championship against Kevin Owens. This bout has an added twist, though, because a few weeks ago, the ladder match stipulation for this was announced. It will only be the second match of this kind in NXT. The first one was at NXT TakeOver: ArRival and featured Adrian Neville defeating Bo Dallas for the NXT Championship.

Now comes this ladder match on NXT’s biggest show ever. Given how talented Owens and Balor are, they should put on a show.

While Balor has said he has no experience in ladder matches, it’s quite the contrary for Owens. He had a big ladder match when he was in Ring of Honor at the Final Battle 2012 iPPV. He defeated El Generico (now Sami Zayn) to retain the ROH World Championship.

Can Owens come out on top in his first ladder match in WWE? Can Balor retain his NXT Championship and win his first ever ladder match?
