WWE will present its next live special, NXT Takeover: London, at 3 p.m. Eastern today, and the main event pits Finn Balor against Samoa Joe for the NXT Championship. We've got a full preview of the event with spoilers, rumors, and predictions for each match, so let's dive into it.

Please note that these are just our predictions for what will happen today, not confirmed match results. However, we will pull in appropriate spoilers and rumors as necessary.

Asuka vs. Emma

This feud started several months ago when Emma and Dana Brooke interrupted the Japanese superstar's debut in NXT and told her to fall in line or get put down. Asuka promptly responded by turning Dana Brooke into jelly in a match a few weeks later.

Now, the Japanese star turns her attention to Emma, the other party who wronged her. Both Asuka and Emma have been on fire in the women's division for the last several months, so this should be a great match. In fact, this could be a show stealer when it's all said and done.

Asuka is still fresh in NXT, so she should get the rub here.

Winner: Asuka

Apollo Crews vs. Baron Corbin

The beef between these two men occurred several weeks back during the Battle Royal to determine a No. 1 Contender to the NXT Championship. They were the last two men in the match, and Crews came out on top.

Then, during Crews' subsequent match with Finn Balor for the belt, Corbin attacked Crews, caused a disqualification, and cost Crews his chance at the title. Crews retaliated the next chance he got, and we were off and running to this match.

This has become an unofficial No. 1 Contender's Match of sorts, as the winner would surely deserve a shot at the belt. This is a tough one to call, but we'll give the edge to Corbin just to shake up the top of the card a bit.

Winner: Baron Corbin

Dash Wilder and Scott Dawson (c) vs. Enzo Amore and Big Cass for the NXT Tag Team Championships

Enzo and Cass have been delighting fans in NXT for years, but they've come up short of the NXT Tag Team Championships each and every time. It seems inevitable that they would get the belts at some point, and today might just be the day. Dash and Dawson are great, but the Realest Guys in the Room need a run with these titles.

This feud also escalated when Dash and Dawson attacked Cass and took him out of action for a while, so he and Enzo are out for blood.

Winners: Enzo Amore and Big Cass

Bayley (c) vs. Nia Jax for NXT Women's Championship

Bayley has been the definition of a fighting champion since she took the belt from Sasha Banks at NXT Takeover: Brooklyn. She defended the title in a rematch at NXT Takeover: Respect and then retained the belt against Alexa Bliss and Eva Marie.

During the Eva Marie feud, Nia Jax entered the picture. The newcomer acted as an enforcer for Eva, but now she gets a shot of her own. During an interview with the two women, Nia hurled Bayley through a wooden door, and now Bayley is angry.

It's possible that Nia wins just to give Bayley another mountain to climb, but we think the Hugster retains her.

Winner: Bayley

Finn Balor (c) vs. Samoa Joe for the NXT Championship

This match has been a long time coming. During the Dusty Rhodes Memorial tag team tournament a couple of months back, Balor and Joe were a team, but Joe made it clear from his arrival in NXT that he wanted to be the top dog, so the tension was evident. The two men won the tournament, but General Manager William Regal still didn't give him a title shot.

Then, Joe came up short in the No. 1 Contender battle royal. So when Apollo Crews got the shot instead, Joe decided to take matters into his own hands. He rescued Balor from an attack by Baron Corbin, but then turned on his friend. Joe pointed out, though, that Balor didn't push hard enough to grant Joe a title shot.

Now, they will finally settle their issues in the ring. Balor has been champion since July 4, so it's completely plausible that his opponent captures the belt here. Perhaps Joe takes it so that a returning Sami Zayn has a monster to slay?

Winner: Samoa Joe
