NXT Takeover: Wargames 2 Predictions

Written By Ben Hercik

NXT Takeover is tomorrow and the card is looking fantastically there’s only 4 matches compared to the standard 5 but hopefully that just means these matches get more time. The All Things Combat Wrestling prediction champion doesn’t defend his belt at Takeover but he’s still here with his predictions.

Aleister Black Vs. Johnny Gargano

This is a pleasant surprise here. My only fear is that these two won’t get enough time. I think that the people running NXT understand that fans will cheer who they want and boo who they want. They know that these two will just be cheered regardless. My only fear is that they are giving this match away at to small of a scale. Both men when they get called up will need to be as far away as possible from each other. Also this poses the question as what both men will do if they don’t get called up after this. I trust that Uncle Hunter has a plan. I’m taking Aleister here but I think that Johnny does need to start winning big matches soon.

WINNER: Aleister Black

Shayna Baszler (C) Vs. Kairi Sane (2 Out Of 3 Falls; NXT Women’s Championship)

I think that this feud needs to end here. I think that if the feud keeps going the only issue is if the women’s championship is pushed to the back, like the North American and Tag Championships in the WarGames feud. It makes more sense for Baszler to retain, but it’s a tough sell. They can have the Baszler, Duke, & Shafir vs Sane, Shirai, and another person feud but it will affect the championship picture. A Baszler retention means that the only next logical challenger would Candice LeRae, and maybe a call up soon for Baszler.

WINNER: Shayna Baszler

Tomasso Ciampa (C) Vs. The Velveteen Dream (NXT Championship)

These two are the future of the WWE, and I wouldn’t want it any other way. I think that these two both could be the champion after the event, but only one can be. With how over Velveteen is, he doesn’t need championships, but one wouldn’t hurt right? It’s just tough to think of who will be the one to take the title off of Ciampa if Dream doesn’t win here. They do have Keith Lee and Matt Riddle, but they need to start building them up more. But, I’m getting a bit ahead of myself here. I think Ciampa retains but we all continue to be impressed by Dream.

WINNER: Tomasso Ciampa

War Raiders, Pete Dunne & Ricochet Vs. The Undisputed Era (War Games Match)

This kind of feels like they had nothing for Ricochet and Undisputed Era, so they got stuck in War Games. I mean I’m super excited for it, but it just kind of feels like it. I think that this match is going to be the car crash that we saw last year and we are going to love it just the same. You have 4 different champions in this match, but I don’t think any of them taking the loss will hurt them. This match has never been about champions and championships. We are all excited for the carnage were going to see. As for a winner, I think Undisputed Era is going to win. Maybe Cole or Strong pins one of the War Raiders, but well just have to wait and see.

WINNER: Undisputed Era
