Here are my predictions for tonights NXT TakeOver NY:
Johnny Gargano vs. Adam Cole in a 2-out-of-3 falls match for the vacant NXT title
-> It’s tough to predict a match that was put together last minute. If Ciampa didn’t have to get surgery, I’d pick Gargano with high confidence. In that sense, they could just go with the plan they had. But they may want to make Gargano chase the man he eventually wins it from. I say he’s been chasing enough and Johnny Wrestling wins it here.
Pick: Johnny Gargano
WALTER vs. Pete Dunne (c) for the United Kingdom title
-> If we knew when (or if) there will be another UK TakeOver, I’d say hold off. We don’t, and they need to something big with this spotlight to make more of those happen.
Pick: WALTER
Matt Riddle vs. Velveteen Dream (c) for the North American championship
-> More than almost any match on the card, this one feels like the old “loser’s in line for a call-up” approach. And I really don’t know who that should be. Both men have the tools to succeed at the next level if the creative is there and, well, you know how that goes. Taking that out of the equation, The Purple One has proven pretty loss proof and his tenure probably earns him a shot at a bigger belt (a shot he probably should have taken with his Worlds Collide win? But whatevs).
Pick: Matt Riddle
Io Shirai vs. Kairi Sane vs. Shayna Baszler (c) vs. Bianca Belair for the NXT Women’s title
->The numbers usually favor the champ in these situations. But it may be time to bring Shayna up to the main roster. She can lose the title here and they can continue an Io Shirai/Bianca Belair feud for the title from here. Pick: Bianca Belair - Miss UN DE FEA TED !!!
War Raiders (c) vs. Aleister Black & Ricochet for the NXT Tag Team championship
-> Black and Ricochet are a main roster act. I can’t imagine them winning the gold here. Should be a great match, though. Pick: War Raiders
