[Prince Bálor]

My predictions for TakeOver:

- Bálor vs KO
Prediction: Bálor wins. I wouldn't mind Owens winning, but I wouldn't get it if he won. Like, why? If he wins, he's back in NXT full time or what? Gotta go with mah boi Bálor here.

- Sasha vs Bayley
Prediction: Bayley wins and becomes the new NXT Women's Champion!

- Blake & Murphy vs The Vaudevillains
Prediction: The Vaudevillains defeat B&M and become the new NXT Tag Team Champions!

- Liger vs Breeze
Prediction: Prince Pretty wins.

- Samoa Joe vs Corbin
Prediction: This could go either way. But, I think Joe wins this one (I want him to win) and Corbin wins the rematch. Perhaps Joe leaves for the main roster after he's done with Corbin. Who knows.

- Apollo Crews vs Tye Dillinger
Prediction: Apollo Crews wins his debut match in NXT!

I'm a little salty that Enzo & Cass aren't going for the titles in the NY area.

Yeah, it's pretty damn strange they left 'em out of a match that's happening in their backyard.

Must be a sign they're heading down the main roster soon.

Hopefully they'll be better off than The Acension

Raw is in the same building on Monday...

Half Life 3 confirmed?

Yep, here's to hoping. As long as they remain who they are once they hit the main roster, it's all good.

Ehh, don't hold your breath.

 

[Leo C]

Card looks great. I'll definitely watch.

 

[Snowman1]

Ehh, don't hold your breath.

Well look at all the people they wanted to treat as stars... Paige debuted at the Raw after Mania in front of the most adult of fanbases who knew and respected who she was, Charlotte/Sasha/Becky came out in a place that treated this like a huge deal, Sami debuted in his hometown and after that got so much buzz they let Owens capitalize on it. They're going to get a monster pop in Brooklyn - hell that's why people want them in the tag title match - so why wouldn't they do it right this time too?

No way they don't stay who they are though

Uhaa debuting that should be nice.. Samoa Joe vs Corbin, interesting.. I hope they put on a decent one but I doubt that's what it'll be.. I wish I was here to watch the show but looks like I'll be working through it :/

Balor/Owens - Should be Balor

Sasha/Bayley - I see Bayley winning when one of Team Bella or Team BAD cost Sasha the victory

Blake and Murphy/The Vaudevillains - I'm thinking BM keeps the titles, but I'd like to see the Vaudevillains win

Liger/Breeze - Easily (for me) the most intriguing match on the card; if Liger is making more than one appearance (even a short-term deal), I think Liger wins to lead to a feud where Breeze has to get his win back at some point in the near future; if Liger's appearance is a one-shot deal, I see Breeze winning

Joe/Corbin - I think Joe's winning...and I personally want Joe on the main roster

Apollo Crews vs Tye Dillinger (really it could have been anyone) - Easily the least-intriguing match on the card...I'm interested to see Crews debut, but it would be very underwhelming to hype his debut match for such a big show and have him lose...so Crews wins

Enzo and Cass need to be part of the televised show and one of them will take the loss in the eight-man tag

Becky-Charlotte-Brooke-Emma - Please let Becky win

Dempsey-Samson - Bull Dempsey wins

Eva "All Red Everything...Everything?...You may want to get that checked)-Carmella - Sadly, I have to predict Eva Marie gets the win...and I'm pretty sure this match will be on the main show
