The following are my predictions for the 2022 WWE Worlds Collide PPV. Check back for Worlds Collide 2022 results and review coverage here when the time comes.
Title Unification Match: NXT Champion Bron Breakker vs. NXT UK Champion Tyler Bate
Originally, I was upset that Trent Seven didn't win the NXT UK Championship. It seemed like that made the most obvious sense. Now that he was released and the whole NXT UK switch to NXT Europe is a thing, I appreciate their choice in Tyler Bate. It makes sense to wrap up the brand with the first champion like that.
As far as this championship unification match goes, I'm fully expecting Breakker to win. The only way he doesn't is if they plan on calling him up to the main roster, and I think that with Johnny Gargano and others freshening up Raw and SmackDown, it isn't as likely to happen right now compared to several months down the line.
PREDICTION: Bron Breakker wins.
Triple Threat Title Unification Match: NXT Women's Champion Mandy Rose vs. NXT UK Women's Champion Meiko Satomura vs. Blair Davenport
I like that they're incorporating Davenport. She's the key to this match. If it were just Rose and Satomura, I'd assume Rose would win and that would be the end of it. Now that Davenport is here, I could actually imagine all three potentially walking away with the title. Satomura is probably who I'd rank the least likely, though. Davenport could win so Rose moves back up to the main roster. Or, they could just keep it on Rose and have her pin Davenport instead of Satomura. I'm interested.

NXT Women's Tag Team Championship Match: Katana Chance and Kayden Carter (c) vs. Doudrop and Nikki A.S.H.
This will be far from the best match of the night. However, I commend them for their efforts. They could have just not included these titles on the card, or had some worse set of challengers that made no sense. This is a Worlds Collide event, so they took a main roster team made up of two women from the UK who were in NXT and NXT UK and had them come down as challengers. That's cool.

Fatal 4-Way Elimination Tag Team Championship Unification Match: NXT Tag Team Champions The Creed Brothers vs. NXT UK Tag Team Champions Josh Briggs and Brooks Jensen vs. Gallus vs. Pretty Deadly
The Creed Brothers or Gallus. It has to be one of those two teams. I'm glad we're getting a 4-way and that it is elimination style. This is the best way to incorporate lots of teams, have them all fight for the top prize in the division, and to do two US teams and two UK teams to keep things fair. It's also two babyface teams and two heel teams. All around, this makes sense. The only question is whether Roderick Strong is going to purposely or inadvertently screw The Creed Brothers so Gallus wins, or if Brutus and Julius will remain on top.

NXT North American Championship Match: Carmelo Hayes (c) vs. Ricochet
It's cool to see Ricochet come down from the main roster to have this match, and I'm sure it will be among the best segments of the night. However, I can't help but to wonder why this isn't a unification match featuring Noam Dar and the NXT UK Heritage Cup. Is that just going to be ignored entirely? Retired with just zero explanation? It wouldn't make sense to carry it over into NXT. Are they waiting to have that as something where, instead of unifying it with Hayes and the North American title, it will get unified with Bron Breakker? Or is Ricochet winning this belt and then dropping it to Noam Dar? I'm so confused. In any fashion, despite that hiccup, Hayes against Ricochet will be a flippy spectacle that I'm sure to enjoy.
PREDICTION: Carmelo Hayes wins.This page will be altered on a regular basis to reflect changes to the show including any new matches added to the lineup, adjustments to the card, revised predictions and any other information about this event. Stay tuned for the latest updates!
