NXT TAKE OVER - PHOENIX

NXT Takeover – Phoenix

When: Saturday, January 26, 2019

Where: Phoenix, Arizona

Venue: Talking Stick Resort Arena

This is NXT Takeover, right here in Phoenix and I (along with Wrestlementary Crew Member Dave Parrish) will be in attendance.




Honestly, I cannot give a full breakdown or Preview of TakeOver because I am so far behind on NXT and only watched the last two Episodes to gear up for being at the show – which will be the fourth NXT show held in Phoenix, and the fourth I have attended.

I can, however, list the card and give my predictions.

THE CARD

As of January 24, 2019

Matt Riddle versus Kassius Ohno
Chris Hero has always been good. Kassius Ohno seems stuck in a rut and never able to break out.

Matt Riddle is legit, nuff’ said.

• Who should Win: Matt Riddle – At this point he is the better bet, with the brighter future.
• Who Will WIN: Matt Riddle.

NXT North American Championship Match: Ricochet (c) versus Johnny Gargano
At one point Ricochet was considered the best in the world not signed to the WWE. And since signing, he has stepped it up even more.

Gargano has found his grove in NXT – becoming better than he ever was before.

This match should be the Highlight of the night.

• Who Should Win: Either Guy.
• Who Will Win: Ricochet

NXT Tag Team Championship Match: The Undisputed Ear (c) versus The War Raiders
Wow, the Ring of Honor lineage is thick in this match. Who would have ever thought we’d see this in WWE and NOT in ROH.

• Who Should Win: The Undisputed Era – it may be too soon for War Raiders.
• Who Will Win: To the winners goes the spoils of war – The War Raiders.

NXT Women’s Championship Match: Shayna Baszler (c) versus Bianca Belair
I am not sure about this, she’s good, but is Belair ready for Baszler?

• Who Should Win: Shayna Baszler
• Who Will Win: Shayna Baszler

NXT Championship Match: Tommaso Ciampa (c) versus Aleister Black
I just recently watched their first match, and I am stoked for this. This is one of those matches where I don’t care who wins.

• Who Should Win: Ciampa – because it’s time for Aleister Black to rock the Main Roster.
• Who Will Win: Vengeance will not be denied – Aleister Black

There we go, those are my thoughts on NXT TakeOver Phoenix. Brief, to the point because I’m not totally up to speed on NXT, but I will be.

That’s it.
