WWE will present the live special NXT Takeover: Unstoppable on Wednesday night, and the main event features an NXT Championship match between Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn. But there are plenty of other matches on the card, so let's break it down in full and get to our predictions.
Wesley Blake and Buddy Murphy (c) vs. Enzo Amore and Big Cass (w/Carmella) for the NXT Tag Team Championships
Blake and Murphy have been making a play for the Hottest Chick in the Ring for quite a few weeks, but Carmella shut them down last week. Blake and Murphy have been solid as champions, but it might be time to finally put the straps on The Realest Guys in the Room. They're more over with the crowd than most acts in NXT, so some gold would suit them well.
Winners: Enzo Amore and Big Cass
Baron Corbin vs. Rhyno
The entire story of this match is "two unstoppable forces want to destroy each other." And you know what? I'm on board. Let these two demolish each other. Let them beat the tar out of each other for six or eight minutes. Let Baron Corbin showcase his talents. Just give me a fight. I don't even care who wins. It should be Corbin, so...
Winner: Baron Corbin
Bayley and Charlotte vs. Emma and Dana Brooke
There are two women's matches on this card, which is a refreshing change of pace for WWE. Bayley and Charlotte have formed an alliance to take out their enemies, which provides some interesting storytelling possibilities. This should also be a good showcase for newcomer Dana Brooke, but Bayley and Charlotte will likely pick up the win.
Winners: Bayley and Charlotte
Finn Balor vs. Tyler Breeze vs. ??? in a No. 1 Contender's Match
This was supposed to be Balor vs. Breeze vs. Hideo Itami, which would have stolen the show easily. But Itami is out of action for another six to eight months and has been officially pulled from the show. It's unclear if WWE plans to replace him in the match or if Balor will simply face Breeze one-on-one. It's likely Itami would have won this match, too, which is a bummer. So we'll hedge a little bit here and predict two winners.
Winner: Finn Balor if it's one-on-one, the mystery third man if it's a Triple Threat
Sasha Banks (c) vs. Becky Lynch for the NXT Women's Championship
These two former friends are ready to rip each other apart for the title, and either one is a worthy champion. Sasha Banks has been a strong champion, while Becky Lynch has shown that she can hold her own and could be an interesting choice to hold the belt. It doesn't quite seem like time yet to take the belt off Sasha, so she'll retain here.
Winner: Sasha Banks
Kevin Owens (c) vs. Sami Zayn for the NXT Championship
There's nothing to say about this match that hasn't already been said. It's two longtime friends turned rivals who are going to tear each other to shreds. Zayn is the hero whom everyone wants to cheer, while Owens is the destroyer who will maim anyone and anything in his path to get what he wants. It's classic storytelling, and NXT has done it expertly. Owens will likely retain, but it's certain that this match will be one to talk about for months, injuries be damned.
Winner: Kevin Owens
