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 Evolution Predictions + Thoughts on An Underpromoted All-Women PPV

Credit: WWE WWE Evolution Promotional Poster This should feel like a bigger deal. After all, this is the first time ever that an All-Women PPV is taking place under the WWE corporate umbrella. But WWE has done a great job of completely killing the show with an uninspired card, lack of promotion, lack of interest overall, and finding a million different other things to promote to undermine the event. Still, some fans (like myself) want to give the women their due and hope to enjoy this show. Here's a rundown of the card and my predictions for each match: 1) Raw Women's Championship: Ronda Rousey (c) vs. Nikki Bella If this goes longer than 5 minutes, it's definitely too long. As good as Nikki can be in the ring (at times), Rousey should just absolutely massacre her. The only ways to prolong this match in a realistic way would be 1) an injury angle or 2) Twin Magic with Brie interfering. Otherwise, this should be short and awesome. Prediction: Ronda Retains 2)...

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...

WWE Super Show-Down 2018 Review: Last Time Ever Delivers + Some Other Solid Matches

Another big show in the WWE this year will happen today as WWE comes from Melbourne, Australia in front of 70,000 people. A lot of big matches are happening here. Let's Do This! No Pre-Show today. It's straight to the show. The new WWE opening takes place, and we get a WWE video package putting over the show and the LAST TIME EVER match. It looks like the Raw Announce Team will be calling the show. We go to the arena, and they've already spent more money on fireworks than they have for WWE programming this year. 70,309 in attendance. For once, the entrance way is understated. 1) SmackDown Live Tag Team Championship The Bar vs. The New Day (c) I wonder if Vince/WWE Management is ordering people to run the aisle tonight. Both tag teams were doing that coming to the ring.  Nice back and forth action with Kingston and Cesaro, along with Woods after getting the tag. Woods and Kingston had an awesome sequence of moves to start off. The Bar a minute later catches bot...
