In an update on the original plans for the WWE NXT Takeover: Toronto main event, prior to the recent set of WWE NXT tapings at Full Sail, the original plan was for Adam Cole to put his title on the line against Matt Riddle, according to a report from The Wrestling Observer.

The report notes that WWE instead decided to go with a third Adam Cole vs. Johnny Gargano match because they want Riddle as part of the NXT roster for a while and feel that they do not need to rush into anything involving Riddle and the WWE NXT Championship.
