Match #1: Andrade "Cien" Almas vs Tye Dillinger
Winner: Andrade "Cien" Almas
It's finally time for the former La Sombra to debut in NXT. The former IWGP Intercontinental Champion will make his debut against the Perfect 10 Tye Dillinger, who has basically become the punching bag for debuting wrestlers, replacing CJ Parker. Since there's so much hype around him, I fully expect a win for Almas.
Match #2: American Alpha (c) vs The Revival-NXT Tag Team Championships
Winners: American Alpha
In a rematch from Takeover: Dallas, American Alpha defend the NXT Tag Team Championships against the former champions The Revival. Since wrestlers almost never win titles twice, I'm going with American Alpha to win and retain the titles.
Match #3: Asuka (c) vs Nia Jax-NXT Women's Championship
Winner: Asuka
In a match pitting two of NXT's most unstoppable women (unless you're Bayley for one of them), Asuka defends her title against Nia Jax. They've done a great job of both making Asuka look like an absolute killer and rebuilding Nia Jax after her loss to Bayley, so I'm pretty hyped for this match. I'm going with Asuka for the win, just because I think keeping the belt on her and letting Nia keep developing her skills.
Match #4: Shinsuke Nakamura vs Austin Aries
Winner: Shinsuke Nakamura
In what could be a match of the night contender, Shinsuke Nakamura and Austin Aries square off to see who is the best. I'm definitely excited for this match, but then again I'm pretty sure I'd get hyped for anything Nakamura does. I'd get hyped for a match between him and The Shining Stars...and I despise the Shining Stars with all my being. As for the winner, I'm picking Nakamura, but I wouldn't say I'm 100% confident on it. I could see Aries cheating and turning heel to get the win. But I'm leaning more towards Shinsuke Nakamura.
Match #5: Samoa Joe (c) vs Finn Balor-Steel Cage match for the NXT Championship
Winner: Samoa Joe
In what has been hyped as the end of one of the best rivalries in NXT history, Samoa Joe defends the belt against the former champ Finn Balor in the first Steel Cage match in NXT ever. These two have put on two great matches at the last two Takeover specials, and I expect this one to follow suit and be great as well. I'm going with Joe for the win (I've got to be right once). I can't imagine having the title change hands after having the shocking title change at a house show.
