First Match Set For Takeover: Chicago II

That’s a heck of a start. With less than a month to go before Takeover: Chicago II, there isn’t actually anything on the card. You can guess what some of the matches will be just by paying attention to television, but you need something a little concrete on the card instead of matches that might take place. WWE seems to have picked up o the lack of matches and added one the day after TV instead of just announcing it on the air, but at least it’s something.

As announced today on WWE.com, Oney Lorcan and Danny Burch will be challenging the Undisputed Era’s Roderick Strong and Kyle O’Reilly. The match was set up last week with Lorcan and Burch scoring a pin in a six man tag also involving Pete Dunne, defeating the Undisputed Era, also including Adam Cole. Lorcan and Burch have been helping Dunne in his quest for revenge after Dunne turned on him at Takeover: New Orleans, costing Dunne the Tag Team Titles in the process.

Opinion: This was one of the matches that you could see being on the card for a good while now and there’s nothing wrong with that. Lorcan and Burch aren’t likely to win the titles but they’re perfectly fine for something like this. Just let them be one off challengers who can have an awesome match while the Undisputed Era gets to hold the titles a little bit longer. It should be fun, which is what the card needs right now.

Who do you think wins here? Who will take the titles from Undisputed Era? Let us know in the comments below.
