Here are some bold predictions for NXT TakeOver In Your House.
WWE hosts another NXT TakeOver for the fans in the house, and the marketing team did well by putting it across as NXT TakeOver In Your House. Amid the ongoing Coronavirus Pandemic, WWE Universe is not allowed inside the arena, and the company wants to deliver the best in class entertainment to its fans. It is only possible if the company creates some breathtaking moments for the fans at home, and those watching it on the WWE Network for $9.99 unless you are on the free version of the streaming platform.
Wednesday Night saw a lot of things take place as we saw El Hijo del Fantasma become the new NXT Cruiserweight Champion while Drake Maverick got the contract to stay with the WWE. It was all so good until we saw the fight between The HBIC Mia Yima and Candice LeRae step off the ring and into the ringside area. This fight soon catapulted into a brawl as Tegan Nox, and later Dakota Kai, Raquel González, and Shotzi Blackheart joined the scene.
It has skyrocketed the excitement and entertainment factor for NXT TakeOver In Your House, and I list things that will be worth your time on the show and welcome your thoughts for the readers’ kind perusal:
The Dream Becomes A Reality
Velveteen Dream is one of the best performers on NXT, and if this is his last chance to get the gold until Adam Cole is the champion, then he will win the gold. It also comes in line with the possibility of Adam Cole moving up the ranks and on the main roster because the superstar has all the skills to go toe to toe with superstars on the main roster.
His work during the build-up to Survivor Series is a testament to this, and it would be a value add if he joins the main roster and lets the spotlight be on the Dream on the black and gold brand.
Charlotte Gets Victory And Revenge
Rhea Ripley returned on the 6th May episode of the brand and took down the challenger Io Shirai’s opportunity, and if the backstage altercation is any proof, we know that the two have some bad blood between them. It allows NXT Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair to stay out of the fight and see her opponents take down each other, which will be another victory for the 12-time Women’s Champion.
The Women’s Champion has a bone to pick with both the competitors, but if she has to invest less time in taking out her opponent and can form a faction to take down the third one, then it would be a welcome thing. Charlotte is the daughter of the dirtiest player in the game, and she would have something up her sleeve as she has been in such situations in the past as well.
It would be enthralling to see how these three put on a show between the ropes. The black and gold brand has lost on ratings with their nemesis, and their opponents did some great matches during the recently held Double or Nothing show. The company would want these three to deliver some magic as they can, and in turn, ensure that there are more praises and viewers for the show when the WWE Universe watches NXT TakeOver: In Your House inside their house.
A Win With The Gold Never Gets Old
The match between Johnny Gargano and Keith Lee is not only for the title but also personal as the two have been in bitter fights over the months. The two opponents were involved in a mixed tag team match during the go-home episode and gave it all to entertain the fellow superstars and trainees at the performance center in attendance and those watching at home.
The two superstars can give the fans something to talk about, and it doesn’t get any bigger if Johnny Wrestling also gets the gold by his side. He is a heel as of this moment, and a title win along with the verbal smack that he puts forth on the coming episode of NXT will help his character and the show because the ratings would spike.
WWE Universe would be anxiously waiting for what he has to say, and if there will be an attack by the former champion. The story is as personal as it gets, and so the two in a match, later on, will help WWE get better ratings.
It will be a win-win situation for all as Keith Lee has had a good run with the title, Johnny will elevate his career, character and the title while the company gets a notch above their opponents.
Will The Prince return as The Demon King?
I have been thrilled with The Demon King’s character because it is similar to The Fiend. It has a layered approach and never got any exposure in the WWE, but this may be the right time to do it. Damien Priest can get a push if he falls victim to The Demon King, and then decides to decipher his opponent’s character from NXT TakeOver: In Your House.
It will help him get more TV time and tell the story in the most thrilling manner where fans will be captivated, and that will be a welcome thing. The biggest catchphrase lies in the names of the two superstars as one has the last name as ‘Priest’ while the other has a character whose first name is ‘The Demon.’
Damien’s quest to unravel the different aspects of Finn Balor will allow the WWE Universe to be involved in a riveting storyline. The creative team will have to go all ways after NXT TakeOver: In Your House to get the brand over.
The two have a great storyline going into the show, and one would have to see if they can pull it well to keep it engaging after the show is in the record books.
Will The Daddy Be Wounded or Grounded?
Karrion Kross is a superstar whose entry was long-awaited and overdue, but when he did make his presence felt on the black and gold brand, he decided to speak more than he could deliver. The Daddy of NXT didn’t find it appealing and decided to teach him a lesson by standing in his way, and it is one of the best storylines on the show.
The Herald Of Doomsday had a violent message for The Dominant Male of NXT this week, and they will inevitably settle for nothing less than a dominant match that will have the fans chant ‘This is Awesome’ from the comfort of their abode.
The Blackheart stated during the go-home episode that he wouldn’t let Kross make a name for self on his expense, and it would be amazing to see how the two battle between the squared circle. The fight put forth by them will be beyond what words can fathom, and over their years of wrestling experience, the two have gone toe to toe with several superstars, but this will be one for the fans to talk about over the weeks that follow.
We would have to wait and see if the predictions made in this article come to life, and Daddy comes home with his hand raised after it’s all said and done.
