NXT Takeover War Games Matches, Predictions
Kassius Ohno vs. Lars Sullivan
Would be pretty surprised if Sullivan loses here. I think he is about to be pushed to the moon and a win over Ohno will be the first big step.
Our Pick: Lars Sullivan wins
The Velveteen Dream vs. Aleister Black
This should be an awesome match. I have really enjoyed the build-up so far and both guys are very talented. I don’t think Black will lose though. Potential match of the night.
Our Pick: Aleister Black wins
Kairi Sane vs. Ember Moon vs. Peyton Royce vs. Nikki Cross (Fatal 4 Way for the Vacant NXT Women’s Title)
You could really make an argument for any of these 4 ladies. I am going off the board here and picking Peyton Royce. I really want to see the dynamic of Royce and Billie Kay with the titles. I think it could be a fun title run. If not Royce, I think Moon wins.
Our Pick: Peyton Royce wins
Andrade “Cien” Almas vs. Drew McIntyre (NXT Title)
Going to say McIntyre retains here. Think he will hold onto the belt until eventually losing it to Adam Cole. Almas puts on a great match but it won’t be enough.
Our Pick: Drew McIntyre wins
The Undisputed Era (Adam Cole, Kyle O’Reilly, Bobby Fish) vs. The Authors of Pain (Akam, Rezar) & Roderick Strong vs. NXT Tag Team Champions SAnitY (Eric Young, Alexander Wolfe, Killian Dain) – WarGames Match
This will be so much fun. So excited to see WarGames come back. As for the winner, I think the Authors of Pain and moving to the main roster soon so their team won’t win. In my mind it will come down to The Undisputed Era and Sanity. Since the titles are not on the line here, I am going with the Undisputed Era to give a big win to the new trio.
Our Pick: The Undisputed Era wins
