NXT Takeover Brooklyn IV Predictions


Here we are folks: The semi-regular reminder of how we wish WWE PPVs actually were. This may be the greatest NXT Takeover show ever put together. On paper, there is not a lemon on this show. The worst match may be a match that would be awesome on any other NXT Takeover. Fans in Brooklyn, you are extremely lucky. Anyways, here are my predictions for each match:

Velveteen Dream vs. EC3

On a normal night, this match would be the one I would point to saying it could steal the show. But these guys are on one hell of a stacked show. That being said, it will be one hell of a match.

This is also to me the hardest match to predict. EC3 really needs a big win in order to help get himself over after being in NXT for a few months with not much to show for it (besides the 5 Star- "would be 6 stars in the Tokyo Dome" - Ladder Match).  But Velveteen Dream is in a similar position and has had more high profile matches that he's lost. For that reason, I'm going with Velveteen Dream to get the big win at NXT Takeover. I hope this feud continues though.

My Prediction: Velveteen Dream.

NXT Tag Team Championship
The Undisputed Era (O'Reilly and Strong) (c) vs. Mustache Mountain

In another match that makes you realize the embarrassment of riches that NXT currently enjoys, we get another round between these two awesome teams. They absolutely tore the house down in a series of matches over the summer in England and back at Full Sail. I have no doubt they will do the same here. BUT let's be real here. Mustache Mountain will be wrestling on NXT UK soon here. I don't see them winning the NXT Tag Team Championships here. It's going to be awesome nonetheless.

My Prediction: The Undisputed Era

NXT Women's Championship
Shayna Baszler (c) vs. Kairi Sane

I would like to see Kairi Sane win the match as I think she's been underutilized on NXT. BUT Shayna's not done with this championship yet in my opinion. I think she's too good as a powerhouse on top of the women's roster. Sane will push her to the limit, but the Pirate Princess is going to fall to the Queen of Spades.

My Prediction: Shayna Baszler

NXT North American Championship
Adam Cole (c) (BAY BAY) vs. Ricochet

This can go multiple ways. Adam Cole is obviously someone Triple H sees a lot in, as most of us do. That could ultimately be the reason he loses the championship on this show. Maybe Cole passes the title on to Ricochet in order to be a new contender for the NXT Championship.

For Ricochet, winning the NXT North American Championship would definitely be a step in the right direction. He's continued to be impressive since making his debut at NXT Takeover New Orleans. But will this be the night he wins his first championship?

Yes. I'm predicting Ricochet wins the North American Championship, while Adam Cole moves on to challenge for the NXT Championship.

My Prediction: Ricochet.

Main Event
NXT Championship
Last Man Standing Match
Tomasso Ciampa (c) vs. Johnny Gargano

And here we go again. How many fans will be bringing street signs and keyboards in this match? I digress. I have no doubt these two will bring the house down as they usually do. I think Gargano is going to be crowned the new NXT Champion. I think there are more heels to challenge Gargano than there are faces to challenge Ciampa. So, I'm calling for the title change.

My Prediction: Johnny Gargano

** I could see this match ending in a draw with both men destroying each other to the point where neither can answer the count of 10. It'll get booed out of the building, but I can see it happening.

Well, those are my picks for NXT Takeover. Check out the blog after the show as I will be posting my thoughts on it ASAP. And look for my SummerSlam predictions on the website soon if you are interested in those.

Until then, take care of yourselves. And spread some awesomeness.

WWE TLC 2018 Review- Tables and Ladders and Chairs, Oh My!  

        HERE WE GO!    Pre-Show   1) WWE Cruiserweight Championship   Buddy Murphy (champ) vs. Cedric Alexander   They started this match early. Apparently, they wanted just as many fans in the arena as there usually are in 205 Live matches for this to give it the authentic feel.   The bell rings. A lot of tie-ups and switches to start up the match to a good reaction from the crowd. A Loud 205 Chant. Alexander takes down Murphy to the floor. Really good back and forth action here with both men moving quickly. Alexander catches Murphy with a dropkick for a 2 count. BIG KNEE to the head of Alexander sends him to the floor. Murphy flies off the top rope and hits a Meteora (maybe that’s what they were going for?) for a 2 count. Murphy has the advantage for a few moments, including a power choke on the corner on Alexander. He jumps off it to eat a SUPERKICK to the chest. Crowd seems invested in the matc...

UnWrest Focus- Survivor Series: Team Cena vs. Team Authority (Survivor Series 2014)

A feud between those who abuse power and those who try to overcome their abuse. It's a classic storytelling trope that has been used time and time again throughout fiction and history. In 2014, that trope was brought back as The Authority looked to cement its power through their "Chosen One" Seth Rollins and his team. Meanwhile, John Cena and other disgruntled WWE employees sought to end the "Reign of Terror" of The Authority once and for all. Putting their jobs on the line, Team Cena hoped to get an opportunity to send Stephanie and Triple H away. However, fans didn't expect a traitor in the midst of Team Cena or the debut of the Franchise of WCW in a WWE ring. This is the latest edition of UnWrest Focus: Survivor Series, and it's going to be a memorable one at that. Let's do this! WWE Survivor Series 2014 11/23/14 Survivor Series Match Team Cena (John Cena, Big Show, Ryback, Erick Rowan, and Dolph Ziggler) vs. Team Authority (Seth Rollins, ...

UnWrest Focus: Survivor Series: Bret Hart vs. Shawn Michaels- "The Montreal Screwjob" (Survivor Series 1997)

Welcome to another edition of UnWrest Focus. For this edition, I'm going to be watching random classic moments from Survivor Series past. This can be traditional Survivor Series matches or classic moments from the Survivor Series event in general. And I'm starting this off with perhaps the most famous/infamous moment in the history of the event. It's 1997, and the WWF has its back against the wall. To make matters worse, Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels aren't exactly seeing eye to eye and have had an on-air/off-air heated rivalry that has left both men trying to undermine the other. Around this time, WWF Champion Bret Hart signed a deal to leave WWF to go to WCW... at the request and urging of Vince McMahon who could not afford to pay Bret's contract or match the offer WCW was offering. But here's the problem: Vince wanted Bret to drop the title to Shawn Michaels in Montreal at Survivor Series. After some major back and forth negotiating and drama, the decision ...
