New Match Added to “Takeover: Philadelphia”

They’re taking over too. This Saturday will see NXT’s latest Takeover special with “Takeover: Philadelphia”. Coming into this week there were four matches announced for the card and that’s not quite enough to put together a full show. Therefore, it was no surprise when there was a fifth match added to the card to flesh things out a little bit.

As announced on the “Takeover: Philadelphia” conference call by WWE COO Triple H via 411mania.com, Kassius Ohno vs. Velveteen Dream has been added to Saturday’s card. The two of them had an altercation after Velveteen Dream’s match this week. Both appeared at the previous Takeover back in November with both performing in losing efforts. Here’s the altercation that set up this match:

Opinion: This is a good addition to the card as Velveteen Dream needs a win after the back to back losses to Aleister Black and Johnny Gargano. That’s where Ohno is perfect as you can almost guarantee a solid match from him while Velveteen Dream can get a win and look good in the process. As usual, NXT knows what they’re doing and it makes perfect sense.
