| WWE NXT TakeOver: Vengeance Day Spoilers and Predictions |
NXT Championship Match: Finn Balor (c) vs. Pete Dunne
This match is going to be fantastic, despite how the outcome is easy to call. The belt is going back to Karrion Kross, rather than over to Pete Dunne. Finn Balor has to keep the title.
PREDICTION: Finn Balor retains the title.
NXT Women's Championship Triple Threat Match: Io Shirai (c) vs. Mercedes Martinez vs. Toni Storm
To be honest, as much as I'm a fan of all three, I think WWE missed an opportunity to stretch this out a bit more. I'd have gone with a single feud between Martinez and Shirai, then a Storm/Shirai program. Putting all three together muddies the water, a bit.
It should still be a great match, though. I'm all for seeing these three compete and I'm good with any of them walking out with the belt. There's more of a chance Storm wins than Martinez, but Shirai could also retain, too. Ultimately, I'm thinking Storm gets the belt here or Shirai pins Martinez and Storm takes umbrage with that to set up a single Storm vs Shirai match where Toni Time begins again.
PREDICTION: Toni Storm wins the title.
Women's Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic Tournament Final Match: Dakota Kai and Raquel Gonzalez vs. Shotzi Blackheart and Ember Moon
Despite how Kai and Gonzalez are heels, I'm assuming they win. They're a more legit team, Gonzalez has won a lot lately, and they are better suited to get a tag title shot down the line. It does make sense for the babyface team to win in order to fight the heels of Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler, but I think we could just get another face team in the mix for a triple threat, like The Riott Squad, and Kai/Gonzalez works even better.
PREDICTION: Dakota Kai and Raquel Gonzalez win.
Men's Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic Tournament Final Match: Grizzled Young Veterans vs. MSK (Nash Carter and Wes Lee)
The tag champs are heels. I can't imagine Grizzled Young Veterans win and get a tag title shot unless it's just on TV and is somewhat a throwaway match. Triple H loves MSK, it seems. It makes so much more sense that they get a chance to win the titles, even if they come up short.
PREDICTION: MSK win.
NXT North American Championship Match: Johnny Gargano (c) vs. Kushida
Since WWE is already showing that Dexter Lumis is the next in line to fight Johnny Gargano, that kind of spoils the outcome of this, doesn't it? It's too weird to give the belt to Kushida and completely transition over to something else like that. True, Gargano vs. Lumis could be a non-title feud, but why do that instead of including the title in the mix? Kushida's been looked at as a curse where you shouldn't say his name, like he's Voldemort or something, but Gargano will find a way to retain.
PREDICTION: Johnny Gargano retains the title.CHECK BACK REGULARLY FOR UPDATED SPOILERS AND PREDICTIONS
