BREAKING NEWS!!!!!!! NXT has now taken over the blog!
Vengeance Day is this Sunday night. LIVE! from the Capitol Wrestling Center in Orlando, Florida. The match card is below and let's begin with the predictions, starting with the Women's Championship match.
Triple Threat Match for the NXT Women's Championship
Io Shirai (c) vs. Toni Storm vs. Mercedes Martinez
Ever since Mercedes returned to NXT after asking to be removed from the "RETRIBUTION" storyline, she has targeted Io, Toni targeted the champion after moving on from her feud with Ember Moon. I wouldn't be surprised if a new champion was crowned but I'll predict that there won't be. Predicted Winner: and still NXT Women's Champion. Io Shirai.
Women's Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic Final
winners receive a future WWE Women's Tag Team Championship opportunity
Dakota Kai & Raquel Gonzalez vs. Ember Moon & Shotzi Blackheart
Raquel has been a powerhouse in the ring, she should challenge for the Women's Championship soon, but first, I'd expect her and Dakota to win the Dusty Cup on Sunday and go on to face the Women's Tag Team Champions, Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler, although new champions could be crowned soon. Time will tell. Ember and Shotzi will put up a great fight but fall short unfortunately. Predicted Winners: Dakota Kai & Raquel Gonzalez.
Men's Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic Final
winners receive a future NXT Tag Team Championship opportunity
MSK vs. Grizzled Young Veterans
The Grizzled Young Veterans (James Drake and Zack Gibson) were runners-up of the last Dusty Cup which was ultimately won by Matt Riddle and Pete Dunne. MSK (Nash Carter and Wes Lee) will be looking to make an immediate impact by winning here, will they be successful? I don't think so.
Predicted Winners of the Dusty Cup: Grizzled Young Veterans.
NXT North American Championship Match
Johnny Gargano (c) vs. Kushida
Kushida has continued to get in "The Way" of Johnny Gargano as of late, The North American champion will look to get rid the challenge once and for all. I believe he will get the job done here, I'd expect Dexter Lumis and Austin Theory to cause some shenanigans during this match also. Predicted Winner: and still. NXT North American Champion. Johnny Gargano.
NXT Championship Match
Finn Balor (c) vs. Pete Dunne
For the first time ever, Balor and Dunne will face each other for the Championship. It will no doubt, be a tough and physical match. It is a perfect main event for this TakeOver. Here's another prediction for you. Oney Lorcan and Danny Burch's efforts to help Dunne will be thwarted by Undisputed Era resulting in "The Prince" picking up the win. Predicted Winner: and still. NXT Champion, Finn Balor.
So. There you have it. NXT TakeOver: Vengeance Day predictions are now in the books, very much looking forward to the event, be sure to check back here on Monday for the Review-ish. Until then. Have a great weekend and thanks for reading.
