WWE NXT TakeOver: Toronto 2019 Spoilers and Predictions

NXT Championship 2-out-of-3 Falls Match: Adam Cole (c) vs. Johnny Gargano

For everything to look like it's on the side of The Undisputed ERA, they have to have all the belts by the end of the night. Thus, Gargano can't win. Plus, Matt Riddle and Velveteen Dream can get a future match with Cole at the next TakeOver events, whereas who will be the next in line if Gargano were to be champion again?

I dig the whole angle of Cole and Gargano getting to pick a stipulation a piece for their falls, with Regal picking the third. That's essentially a variation of Three Stages of Hell. Very cool!

PREDICTIONS: Adam Cole retains the title.


NXT Women's Championship Match: Shayna Baszler (c) vs. Mia Yim

Yim beat Bianca Belair twice. She's a babyface. She and Candice LeRae are the two best suited to get a title shot, and I think Yim will be more of the stepping stone between the two. Plus, LeRae is now in a feud with Io Shirai, so that will keep her busy.

PREDICTIONS: Shayna Baszler retains the title.


NXT North American Championship Triple Threat Match: Velveteen Dream (c) vs. Roderick Strong vs. Pete Dunne

New champion. Prophecy fulfilled. I don't like the idea of randomly inserting Pete Dunne into this. It feels like that's done just to have him on the card, and not for any storyline purposes or anything. Granted, he'll improve the match, but it's still just coming off very...I don't know...shallow?

PREDICTIONS: Roderick Strong wins the title.


NXT Tag Team Championship Match: The Street Profits (c) vs. The Undisputed ERA (Bobby Fish and Kyle O'Reilly)

New champions. Prophecy fulfilled.

PREDICTIONS: The Undisputed ERA win the titles.

Breakout Tournament Finals: Jordan Myles vs. Cameron Grimes

Big fan of them introducing these 8 new wrestlers and making a thing out of it. Myles and Grimes wouldn't have been the go-to finals in my mind, though. I would have probably gone with Myles against Angel Garza or Dexter Lumis, probably. But hey, I can't complain about them trying to make new stars.

PREDICTIONS: I'll go with Jordan Myles for the win to offset heels winning the other matches.


Candice LeRae vs. Io Shirai

Hey, look at that, they went ahead and added a sixth match and decided to go with a second women's match, rather than Matt Riddle against Killian Dain! Very cool for these two.

The match has potential. The feud has potential. I'm not entirely super mega awesome excited about it, but it gets my stamp of approval, that's for sure. And since I think LeRae will be the next to challenge Baszler and will win the title from her, she's my pick for the winner here.

PREDICTIONS: Candice LeRae wins.
