WWE NXT TakeOver: Phoenix predictions



Here are my preditions for tonights NXT ppv:

Tommaso Ciampa (c) vs. Aleister Black for the NXT title

-> Goldie stays with The Champ, as Black seems due for the main roster, and his obvious star power can help fill the voids on Raw. Pick: Tommaso Ciampa

 

Johnny Gargano vs. Ricochet (c) for the North American championship

-> Since this feud is so infused with the guys in the main event, its path feels murky. The midcard of NXT is so chock-a-block with faces right now that I could see Gargano keeping the title to surrender it in another ‘Mania-week multi-man ladder match, but that just doesn’t feel right. Johnny’s still thinking about Tommy Sports Entertainment, who doesn’t need another title. It also seems a bit soon to end Rico’s run, especially since he’s only had one defense so far (Breeze) and that wasn’t even a TakeOver match. Pick: Ricochet


 Shayna Baszler (c) vs. Bianca Belair for the NXT Women’s title

-> There’s a pattern of Baszler overlooking opponents being established, and I think she’s done so here again. The EST’s reign will probably be even shorter than Kairi Sane’s, but I think she whips her hair back & forth and sneaks out with the strap. Pick: Bianca Belair



War Raiders vs. Undisputed ERA (c) for the NXT Tag Team championship

 -> This opportunity for Hansen and Rowe feels so long overdue (and earned in War Games) that I can’t see it going any way but theirs. Hopefully this means the Era gets to play the numbers game the next night in the Rumble. Pick: The War Raiders



  
Matt Riddle vs. Kassius Ohno

-> Yeah, there’s no way Ohno is picking up a win here. Pick: Matt Riddle
