Sami Zayn vs. Shinsuke Nakamura
It’s Nakamura’s debut match, and Zayn is on his way out, Nakamura is obviously getting the win here, but it should be an absolutely incredible match, possibly even a match of the year candidate, and certainly a candidate for best match of what is known as the biggest weekend in wrestling.
The Pick: Shinsuke Nakamura
Apollo Crews vs. Elias Samson
I honestly didn’t even know this match was happening, I couldn’t even find a graphic for it because there has been very little, if-any buildup but it should be a good chance to see “the drifter” Elias Samson in a longer match, as most of his matches are pretty short, I do think Apollo Crews will win, he’s a future champion, and Elias Samson is a flash in the pan.
The Pick: Apollo Crews
Baron Corbin vs. Austin Aries
Austin Aries’ first big match, which means he is the obvious choice for who will win this contest. I’m not sure where Corbin goes from here assuming he loses, as I don’t know if he is ready to join the main roster, maybe we could see an upset here…
The Pick: Austin Aries
NXT Tag Team Championship Match: The Revival (c) vs. American Alpha
The Revival have been champions for a long time, and it’s time for some new faces on top of the NXT Tag Team division, and that comes in the form of American Alpha, they are as good as their name is stupid. But honestly, these guys are the future of tag team wrestling.
The Pick: American Alpha
NXT Women’s Championship Match: Bayley (c) vs. Asuka
This is the toughest match to predict on this card. Bayley has been absolutely fantastic as NXT Women’s champion, but her time to join the main roster with the rest of the 4 horsewomen may be sooner rather than later. Asuka takes this one, and goes into a feud with Nia Jax.
The Pick: Asuka
NXT Championship Match: Finn Bálor (c) vs. Samoa Joe
This is another tough matchup to predict as it’s basically a loser goes up to RAW match. I think it’s time for Finn Bálor to drop the NXT title. Samoa Joe should beat Bálor here and become NXT Champion because most of the challengers are babyfaces. Finn Bálor can go up to the main roster and debut on the post-mania raw as part of Bálor Club.
