Match Card
Stipulation/Title | Winner |
Roxanne Perez vs Cora Jade | Weapons Wild Match |
Julius Creed vs Damon Kemp | Ambulance Match (If Kemp wins, Brutus Leaves NXT. If Julius wins, Brutus gets a rematch against Kemp.) |
Carmelo Hayes vs Von Wagner vs Wes Lee vs Oro Mensah vs Nathan Frazer/Axiom | Ladder Match for NXT North American Championship |
Bron Breakker(c) vs Ilja Dragunov vs JD McDonagh | Triple Threat match for NXT Championship |
NXT Championship Triple Threat Match: Bron Breakker (c) vs. Ilja Dragunov vs. JD McDonagh
I think that the winner of this match will be the undefeated Dragunov. My guess is McDonagh is in the match to allow Dragunov not to have to lose.
PREDICTION: Bron Breakker retains.
NXT North American Championship Ladder Match: Carmelo Hayes vs. Oro Mensah vs. Von Wagner vs. Wes Lee vs. TBD
I feel like the currently run “swerve” booking philosophy doesn’t feel entirely natural to me, where the company just looks to change a wrestler‘s character on their own in order to create heat. These booking ideas can divert from a story, often leading to inconsistencies and overall confusion.
It’s difficult to predict the outcome of this tournament, but I think Wes Lee has a solid chance. Tyler Bate could win as well, if they are involved.
PREDICTION: I’ll pick one when we have the field set.
Weapons Wild Match: Cora Jade vs. Roxanne Perez
As there are many different ways to describe what a “Weapons Wild Match” is, there is a need for innovation and creativity. It is not worth of the pun “Halloween Havoc”. A better idea would be “Trick or Street Fight“, “Tables, Ladders and Scares” or X.
PREDICTION: Cora Jade wins.
Ambulance Match: Damon Kemp vs. Julius Creed
If Kemp wins, the next week will be the last ever conducted under the name of NXT. This stipulation seems interesting and has me curious about what a future match might look like with that stipulation.
PREDICTION: Julius Creed wins.
The match cards are still coming out. Sit tight and watch for new matches to be announced.
