Possibly call up for Kairi Sane following Wrestlemania weekend<\/p>\n\n\n\n NXT Tag Team Championship \u2013 War Raiders to\nretain the titles, both Ricochet and Aleister Black to move towards a permanent\nmain roster position<\/p>\n\n\n\n North American Championship \u2013 Matt Riddle\nto defeat Velveteen Dream. For the record, I do not want this to happen as I\u2019m\nnot a fan of Riddle and I also worry what will happen to Dream if he gets\ncalled up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n NXT UK Championship \u2013 Walter to defeat Pete\nDunne. Dunne to move to NXT in the US<\/p>\n\n\n\n NXT Championship \u2013 ADAM COLE BAYBAY!!!! The\ntime to put that title on Gargano has been and gone and he has well and truly\nearned the call up that I hope is coming his way. I\u2019m also expecting this to be\nthe match of the weekend! <\/p>\n\n\n\n @JakeCCK<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n NXT Women\u2019s Championship – Io Shirai\ndefeats Shayna Baszler, Kairi Sane and Bianca Belair<\/p>\n\n\n\n NXT Tag Team Championship – War Raiders\ndefeats Ricochet and Aleister Black<\/p>\n\n\n\n NXT North American Championship – Matt\nRiddle defeats Velveteen Dream <\/p>\n\n\n\n NXT UK Championship – WALTER defeats Pete\nDunne<\/p>\n\n\n\n NXT Championship – Johnny Gargano defeats\nAdam Cole <\/p>\n\n\n\n @Iwanmack<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n NXT Women\u2019s Championship \u2013 Io Shirai<\/p>\n\n\n\n NXT North American Championship \u2013 Matt Riddle<\/p>\n\n\n\n NXT Tag Team Titles \u2013 War Raiders<\/p>\n\n\n\n NXT UK Championship \u2013 Walter<\/p>\n\n\n\n NXT Championship \u2013 Johnny Gargano<\/p>\n\n\n\n @DriftAway93<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n North American Championship \u2013 Matt Riddle <\/p>\n\n\n\n NXT Tag Team Championship – War Raiders <\/p>\n\n\n\n NXT Women\u2019s Championship – Bianca Belair <\/p>\n\n\n\n NXT Championship – Adam Cole BAY BAY! <\/p>\n\n\n\n NXT UK Championship – It kills me to say\nit, but I feel that WALTER will dethrone Pete Dunne at Takeover. I love WALTER\nand he’s the only one who has felt right but seeing the reign come to an end? I\ndon’t know if I’m ready for that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n @BiekoDaniel<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n NXT Championship – Gargano vs Cole – winner-\nGargano<\/p>\n\n\n\n NXT women’s championship – Baszler vs Sane vs\nShirai vs Belair – winner- Shirai <\/p>\n\n\n\n NXT North America championship – Velveteen\ndream vs Matt riddle Winner – Riddle <\/p>\n\n\n\n NXT Tag Team Championship – War Raiders vs\nBlack & ricochet – Winners – War Raiders <\/p>\n\n\n\n WWE UK Championship – Walter vs Pete Dunne – Winner\n– Pete Dunne<\/p>\n\n\n\n @codytweetsstuff<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Matt Riddle vs Velveteen Dream (Champion) –\nNXT North American Championship <\/p>\n\n\n\n In what I think will kick off this\nTakeOver, the undefeated Matt Riddle takes on Velveteen Dream. This match\nshould be great and I\u2019m looking forward to it. I\u2019m a little conflicted on this\none. Whilst in my head I can envision Dream being victorious, Riddle would make\na lot of sense from a storyline standpoint. Now, as will be mentioned in my\npredictions later, I believe there is a chance of Dream dropping the North\nAmerican Title in order to go after the NXT Championship. I\u2019m extremely unsure\nof this. Like really, really not sure about this. AHHH! Matt Riddle wins and\nbecomes the new NXT North American Champion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The War Raiders (Champions) vs Aleister\nBlack & Ricochet – NXT Tag Team Championships In the tag championship match\nfollowing the Dusty Rhodes Classic, we see the NXT Tag Team Champions, The War\nRaiders (Hanson & Rowe) taking on the Dusty Rhodes Classic winners,\nRicochet & Aleister Black. I\u2019m sure this will be a really good match and\nI\u2019m somewhat happy with my prediction however, I wouldn\u2019t be surprised if\neither team wins. I think the War Raiders will retain. On Raw, we found out\nthat the Edgeheads are challenging the Revival at Mania. I think the Edgeheads\nwill win at Mania and I believe that Black & Ricochet will win the titles\noff of them at the RAW after Mania. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Shayna Baszler (Champion) vs Bianca Belair\nvs Io Shirai vs Kairi Sane \u2013 NXT Women\u2019s Championship This is a tough one to\npredict. Belair is really solid but I don\u2019t think she\u2019s ready to become\nchampion. Io hasn\u2019t really shown off her work yet in NXT. So, we\u2019re down to\nformer champ Kairi Sane and the current champion, Shayna Baszler. Out of all of\nthese women, Baszler is definitely the most prepared to head to the main roster\nand she might even be added to Raw or SmackDown during the superstar shakeup or\nafter Mania. I\u2019m left with a tough decision here. Baszler retains. I think\nshe\u2019s going to the main roster with the women\u2019s title to confront whoever wins\nthe main event of Mania. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Pete Dunne (Champion) vs WALTER \u2013 NXT\nUnited Kingdom Championship Oh dear, don\u2019t make me predict this. Winner…\nWALTER. Wishful thinking but I\u2019m hoping that Ilja Dragunov will make his debut,\nand when the ref and WALTER are down, nail Dunne with a lariat and gift WALTER\na win. It would be a huge debut for Dragunov and a huge shift in NXT UK as\nDunne\u2019s title reign is ended. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Johnny Gargano vs Adam Cole (2\/3 Falls) \u2013\nNXT Championship This match should be superb. It\u2019s very unfortunate that Ciampa\nhad to relinquish his title from injury in the best form of his career but\nanyways, who do I think is going to win? Adam Cole wins to become NXT Champion\nand the first Undisputed Era member to win NXT singles gold. I\u2019m not sure why\nbut I have a feeling. And personally, I\u2019m not a fan of Gargano\u2019s personality.\nThe man has one and a half facial expressions and despite him being really\nsolid in the ring, I\u2019d love to see a some character development to win me over\nto the \u2018Johnny Wrestling\u2019 side.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Pro Wrestling Journal\u2019s NXT Takeover: New York Predictions Matches NXT Women\u2019s Championship Match \u2013 Fatal Four Way \u2013 Shayna Baszler (c) v Kairi Sane v Io Shirai v Bianca […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":11920,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_bbp_topic_count":0,"_bbp_reply_count":0,"_bbp_total_topic_count":0,"_bbp_total_reply_count":0,"_bbp_voice_count":0,"_bbp_anonymous_reply_count":0,"_bbp_forum_subforum_count":0,"tdm_status":"","tdm_grid_status":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[28,2,186,530,228,960,185],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11917","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-editorials","category-featured","category-nxt","category-takeover","category-wrestlemania","category-wrestlemania-week","category-wwe"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p9jnWd-36d","jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/prowrestlingjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Takeover.jpg?fit=1200%2C675&ssl=1","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/prowrestlingjournal.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11917","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/prowrestlingjournal.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/prowrestlingjournal.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/prowrestlingjournal.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/prowrestlingjournal.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11917"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/prowrestlingjournal.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11917\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11923,"href":"https:\/\/prowrestlingjournal.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11917\/revisions\/11923"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/prowrestlingjournal.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11920"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/prowrestlingjournal.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11917"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/prowrestlingjournal.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11917"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/prowrestlingjournal.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11917"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
