NXT Championship Ladder Match
Finn Bálor (c) vs. Kevin Owens
-> This is a rematch of their excellent NXT Title match on July 4 in Tokyo when Balor beat Owens clean to win the gold. That was a predictable title change just because of Owens becoming a full timer on the main roster. Now it’s a Ladder Match in front of the biggest NXT crowd ever, so it will definitely have a special feel to it with Balor’s “Demon” entrance in a bigger arena. For Owens, it’s a huge weekend because he’s main eventing this show and then on Sunday he’s facing Cesaro at SummerSlam. This is probably going to be a physical match with the ladder being used as a weapon too, so the big man will be put to the test this weekend for sure.
If Balor loses the title in his first major defense that won’t look good for him. WWE needs a guy like him to be the face of NXT at least in the short term because there aren’t that many other options that are as over as him. With that said, losing the title is very possible. It’s definitely possible that Owens will win because he’s a top heel that is great as a champion and I think that’s why he will win even though I like Balor a lot too. There are some concerns about the future because there aren’t top heels really ready for Balor while Owens can have feuds with faces like Samoa Joe and Hideo Itami when Itami comes back.
This is probably going to be the longest match on the show, the best match on the show and the one that people talk about the most after it’s over. Everything is in place for them to have an outstanding title match to get people even more excited about NXT. Considering how talented they are, they should deliver that classic ladder match that most of us are expecting.
Winner And New NXT Champion: Kevin Owens
NXT Women’s Championship Match
Sasha Banks (c) vs. Bayley
-> Banks probably won’t get booed by the Brooklyn fans just because of how awesome she is. They will appreciate her talent and cheer her just for being there. Banks is a great champion, but if WWE doesn’t want her carrying the NXT Women’s Title on Raw and Smackdown, why keep it on her?
The contract signing segment they had on this week’s NXT show was outstanding. Bayley showed me a lot there. She’s not just a happy, go lucky babyface – she can bring the fire too. That’s the kind of thing that will make her successful long term. Banks has had a really good reign for the past six months, but it ends here. Bayley gets the win for her first NXT Women’s Title in what should be an awesome moment for her. The match quality should be really good too.
Winner And New Women’s Champion: Bayley
NXT Tag Team Championship Match
Blake & Murphy (c) vs. The Vaudevillains
-> It feels like the right time and place for a tag title change. The Vaudevillains deserve it and I hope it’s Blue Pants that is the woman that is with them just because of how silly it would be.
Most importantly, these young teams with bright futures have the potential to have a really good tag match because they have built up a solid chemistry. Winners And New Tag Team Champions: The Vaudevillains
Jushin “Thunder” Liger vs. Tyler Breeze
-> As cool as it is to see Liger in WWE, Breeze is a future star that should get the win. They will probably get around 10 minutes, the crowd will love seeing Liger there and it wouldn’t surprise me if there was even a standing ovation out of respect. Hopefully Liger can be brought back again, but if this is his only WWE showing then at least it will be memorable. Winner: Tyler Breeze
Samoa Joe vs. Baron Corbin
-> Since Joe is likely going to be a main eventer in NXT very soon, so he should get the win. Putting him with Corbin should be good for Corbin just because of Joe’s experience and talent. Working with Joe will make Corbin better and that’s one of the great things about NXT. They have a nice mix of younger guys to along with the experienced vets that have thrived all over the world.
If Corbin gets the win it will be because they want to keep the feud going. I just think it would be foolish to have Joe lose after he was brought in as a big deal a few months ago. Joe gets the clean win here. Winner: Samoa Joe
