NXT GM William Regal announced last night that Austin Aries will face off against Baron Corbin in Dallas as a result of Corbin jumping Aries from behind and "ruining" his debut in NXT.
There's little chance of Aries losing to Corbin, especially if this turns out to be his very first match in NXT. Of course, it seemed unlikely that Apollo Crews would lose to Baron Corbin in London, yet it happened. At the same time, however, Aries is a much bigger name than Crews as he's a triple crown winner in NXT, the first 2 time ROH World Champion, etc. and there's simply more buzz about Aries outside of NXT than there was for Crews.
That's still no guarantee, however, as I'm sure that Baron Corbin has fans among the upper WWE brass, which is the only real reason I can think of him going over the more polished and experienced Crews. If the word comes down from on high to Triple H, namely from Vince McMahon, that insists on putting someone else over, then Trips really has no alternative. So while Aries seems the likely winner, it's not impossible for Vince to make Trips book the result in the way he might personally want it.
