WWE NXT Championship: (c) Bron Breakker vs JD McDonagh

Prediction: Bron Breakker retains

Bron Brekker loses the title and goes to the main roster? No, not yet. I do think McDonagh will ultimately be the one to dethrone Breakker at some point but this rivalry and story to me is just getting started. Expect this match to highlight the strengths of McDonagh and for him to control most of this match. Breakker’s strength and never give up attitude will get him through this match enough to retain for now. I expect a very good competitive match between these two.

WWE NXT Women’s Championship: (c) Mandy Rose vs Zoey Stark

Prediction: Zoey Stark wins and become new WWE NXT Women’s Champion

This one seems obvious to me, so watch Mandy Rose retain, eyeroll. Zoey Stark seems like she’s been on a rocket ship since she came back. She wins the battle royal for a title shot and gets put into the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship Tournament on the main roster as well. I got Stark winning this and I think since Toxic Attraction would have nothing left to prove that they would be on their way to the main roster to boost a tag division that needs it and a new and improved Mandy Rose would be a stronger challenger in the women’s division for either the Raw or Smackdown Women’s Championships. I expect this match to be solid with Stark becoming the new WWE NXT Women’s Champion.

Cora Jade vs Roxanne Perez

Prediction: Cora Jade Wins

This feud is personal for both women. I can’t lie though. I am a huge Cora Jade fan. I think that of all the women that they currently have on the roster on NXT that she is going to be the biggest star of all of them. Don’t @ me. I expect this to be a match that is better than alot of people are expecting. Roxanne Perez looks like a star in her own right but I just feel like a win here makes more since for Jade and just like her boyfriends feud with McDonagh, I feel like this feud is far from over. Jade wins and continues to piss off the NXT Universe.

WWE NXT North American Championship: (c) Carmelo Hayes vs Giovanni Vinci

Prediction: Giovanni Vinci shocks the world and wins NXT North American Championship

Shocker of the night. Hayes to me is main roster ready as well but I think they keep him in NXT for a bit and even maybe toss him into the NXT Championship picture. Giovanni Vinci to me screams STAR. The look, the entrance and the way he carries himself just shows this gimmick is made for him. Vinci beating Hayes would be the shock that would get fans buzzing and would be the biggest win of Vinci’s career on NXT thus far and would catapult him to the top of the NXT food chain. This is going to be the match of the night and steal the show. It’s also going to be dominating Twitter as fans will talk about “OMG, Giovanni Vinci beat Carmelo and is the new NXT North American Champion!”

Loser Leaves NXT Street Fight: Santos Escobar vs Tony D’Angelo

Prediction: Tony D’Angelo wins

These two guys work so damn good together and I have really enjoyed this story. Escober is main roster ready right now and I expect that’s where he is going to go after D’Angelo picks up this hard fought win. I expect interference, physicality and probably even some betrayal in this match but this should be a fun end to this story that I hope we see on the main roster some day. I see both of these guys as future stars and this should be a great street fight to end this great story, for now.
