Hi and welcome back to the blog. NXT has taken over the blog (pun intended) It's sure to be a hell of a show like most, if not all, TakeOvers normally are.
Before we get to the predictions. An Interim NXT Cruiserweight Champion was crowned on the last episode of NXT in the name of El Hijo Del Fantasma, who defeated Drake Maverick in the final of the Tournament. In case you're wondering why interim? The reason is the current Cruiserweight Champion, Jordan Devlin is unable to travel due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Also, after the match, Maverick was awarded a contract by "The Game" Triple H. Let's get to the predictions.
Mia Yim, Shotzi Blackheart & Tegan Nox vs. Candice LeRae, Dakota Kai & Raquel Gonzalez
I think this match will open the show, it's a tough one to call to be honest with you. I think that the face team will win this one. Predicted Winners: Mia Yim, Shotzi Blackheart & Tegan Nox.
Tommaso Ciampa vs. Karrion Kross
It's the TakeOver debut for Karrion Kross (and Scarlett) Ciampa is the perfect opponent for him to defeat and to climb the proverbial ladder for a future North American Championship opportunity. Predicted Winner: Karrion Kross.
NXT North American Championship Match
Keith Lee (c) vs. Johnny Gargano
Speaking of the North American Championship. This one, for me is the match of the night, It's going to go down to the wire, Candice and Mia will no doubt play a role here in regards to who wins. The title will not change hands. Predicted Winner: and STILL NXT North American Champion. Keith Lee.
Finn Balor vs. Damian Priest
I'm going to cut to the chase. Finn will get the last laugh over Priest (who attacked him weeks ago) with a win here so there you go. Winner: Finn Balor.
NXT Women's Championship Match
Charlotte (c) vs. Io Shirai vs. Rhea Ripley
This should be a fun match, people will probably choose Charlotte to remain champion or Rhea to get her win and title back, however, I'm picking Io Shirai to shock the world and win her first championship.That would be cool. Predicted Winner: and NEW NXT Women's Champion. Io Shirai.
Last Chance Backlot Brawl for the NXT Championship
Adam Cole (c) vs. Velveteen Dream
(if Dream loses, he can no longer challenge for the NXT Championship while Cole is still Champion)
Get ready for another cinematic type match, It's sure to be a good one to watch. Dexter Lumis has been involved in this feud by targeting the Undisputed Era, I think he will cost Dream the match and Cole will remain champion when all is said and done here.
Predicted Winner: and STILL NXT Champion. Adam Cole (BAY-BAY)
That is for the predictions. hope you enjoyed.. I believe this is a two and half hour show, the review-ish will be out sometime tomorrow. Until then, enjoy the show if you're watching and thanks for reading.
