NXT Takeover 31 Predictions
5) Damian Priest vs Johnny Gargano
— NXT North American Championship (CONFIRMED)
WWE has officially confirmed a match for the NXT North American Championship. It will be Damian Priest vs Johnny Gargano.
This should be a fun match. I have been really impressed by Priest over the past few months and I am very excited to see him face Gargano. I am sure that they will tear it up.
As for the winner, I am going with Priest. I don’t see him losing the belt already.
Winner Prediction:
- Damian Priest
4) KUSHIDA vs Velveteen Dream
— Singles Match (CONFIRMED)
WWE has officially confirmed a match between KUSHIDA and Velveteen Dream for this Takeover event.
This should be a solid match. I am happy to see KUSHIDA get a chance to shine (on a Takeover) as I am a big fan of his.
I will go with KUSHIDA winning here. With all of the controversy surrounding the Velveteen Dream, I don’t see him winning.
Winner Prediction:
- KUSHIDA
