Austin Aries vs. Baron Corbin: This should be an entertaining match. Austin Aries just made his debut in NXT so it would make sense for him to get the win here right? I don’t know… I have a feeling that NXT has big plans for Baron Corbin, potentially as the next challenger for the NXT Championship. I usually always say that the guy who is making his debut should get the rub, but in this case I have a weird feeling Corbin wins. Prediction: Baron Corbin.
NXT TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS – The Revival vs. American Alpha
Really excited for this one. I watched the Revival in person at WWE Roadblock and they are very talented. American Alpha have been incredibly over with the crowd since they started teaming up and are extremely fun to watch. This should be a very entertaining match by these two teams. I would say American Alpha gets the win here and we see new champs but I am not sure. The Revival needs the titles way more than American Alpha do. Think about Blake and Murphy after losing the titles have gone right into mid-card obscurity as their gimmick was essentially the tag champions. This is the same for the Revival and I fear that if they lose their belts there won’t be another heel team to take their place. American Alpha will get their time as tag champs, I don’t know if NXT Takeover Dallas is the right time!
Prediction: The Revival
Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Sami Zayn
This is going to be amazing. Shinsuke Nakamura in a WWE ring. WOW! Just thinking about it gives me goosebumps. If you are not familiar with his work, I suggest doing some research before the show to prepare yourself for an amazing wrestler and electric personality. He is going up against Sami Zayn who we know is already on the main roster and finished with NXT. This will be a phenomenal moment and match. I expect this one to steal the show and be surrounded by a ton of ‘THIS IS AWESOME’ chants. Nakamura gets the win here, no question about it.
Prediction: Shinsuke Nakamura
NXT WOMEN’S CHAMPIONSHIP – Bayley vs. Asuka
This is my choice for match of the night in Dallas. Two of the best female wrestlers on the planet. Both are so incredible to watch and this one will steal the show. Bayley has held the title for a long-time now and I expect her to make the leap onto the WWE main roster very soon. I think we could see her lose her belt here to the incredible Asuka and pass the NXT torch to her. I think Bayley drops the title after an incredible match and makes her debut on the RAW after WrestleMania 32.
Prediction: Asuka
NXT CHAMPIONSHIP – Finn Balor vs. Samoa Joe
Another match that should be great. I think both guys are main roster bound fairly soon. Expect these two to raise the bar from their last match together which was also great. I think we are going to see the debut of the Balor Club (Karl Anderson and Doc Gallows) at this event. They would close the show by helping Finn retain his title and making their debuts! I am conflicted if they will debut here or on the main roster with Finn after WrestleMania 32 but I am going to go with at NXT Takeover Dallas right now.
Prediction: Finn Balor
Can’t wait for this event. I expect at least one title change in the top two matches and an amazing display of wrestling.! Let me know your predictions for the event in the comment section!
