NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn 2018 Predictions

These WOULD have been my predictions going in.




NXT Champion Tommaso Ciampa vs. Johnny Gargano – Last Man Standing Match



NXT Women’s Champion Shayna Baszler vs. Kairi Sane



NXT Tag Team Champions Roderick Strong and Kyle O’Reilly vs. Tyler Bate and Trent Seven



NXT North American Champion Adam Cole vs. Ricochet



EC3 vs. The Velveteen Dream



I figured Cole would lose the North American Championship in order to bump him to the NXT title picture which lead me to thinking that a face was going to be holding the belt so I picked Gargano to win that. Idk how much longer Baszler will be in NXT so I picked Sane. I didn't think they'd do a belt flip flopping so quick with the Tag belts so UE wins. I picked EC3 because Dream is super over and doesn't need wins atm.


In the end I'd of been 3/5. So not bad.


Once again TakeOver did deliver. That Tag match that opened the show stole it for me. What a match. Cole and Ricochet was amazing as well. That damn superkick (if you watched you know what I'm talking about) was killer and then the apron hurricanrana. Just wow, impressive stuff. EC3 vs Dream was good with an awesome ending. Womans match I wasn't really paying attention and the main event I fell asleep during but caught most of it.


Last Man Standing while it told a great story just felt a bit more of the same considering there last 3 matches now have all been hardcore based. Unsanctioned, Street Fight, Last Man Standing. So it all felt similar to each other. It was a real let down for me that Black got hurt and taken out of the match because he'd of added a much stronger and new dynamic to it in my mind.
