Imagine Kai gets the win here and the final match will be in Tampa. Can see someone helping Kai win setting up a possible tag with Candice involved.
This card looks great so far btw.

My current theory is the following:
-Charlotte refuses Ripley's challenge for WrestleMania because she doesn't hold a main roster championship and NXT is beneath her. -Ripley attacks Charlotte, trying to goad her into accepting the challenge. -Charlotte says that the NXT Championship is still beneath her, but Ripley needs to pay for the attack. -Charlotte interferes at Takeover, costing Ripley the championship to Belair. -Ripley show up on the main roster as a surprise challenger for either Becky or Bayley, let's say at Elimination Chamber. -Ripley wins that championship, and finally has Charlotte's attention for a match at WrestleMania.

You have no idea how much I REALLY hope this is the way things end up because it lets Bianca get a title reign Opens the door to Bianca Vs Io for Mania Weekend...which IMO would be a better overall match then Rhea Vs Io Moves Rhea to the main roster and Charlotte stays the hell away from the NXT womens title

Seems like it'll probably be a very good but largely inconsequential show. Whatever, I'll take unimportant but good over important but bad.

In theory at least, is this one of the easier Takeovers to predict?
With the way the stories have been built and with one eye on Mania weekend, I'd imagine victories for:
Balor Lee Broserweights Kai Ripley Cole
So they've got the chance to spring a major surprise by going against any of those expected finishes IMO.

I reckon there's a small chance that Ciampa actually wins it here, and they go on to Takeover Tampa and do the Ciampa v Gargano blowoff for the title that they couldn't do a year ago. But I don't know where that leaves Cole, though.

But I don't know where that leaves Cole, though. Yep pretty much. Ciampa winning Sunday would be a great moment but would leave me questioning where they go after that. Perhaps a Cole/Gargano/Ciampa triple threat in Tampa could be fun? (I don't think many people could stomach Gargano-Ciampa IV even if it did finally close off the storyline) Would be a nice way to give a mania-weekend blowoff match to the 3 guys who have pretty much been the undoubted top guys of NXT for more than 2 full years now. After WM I feel like Cole badly needs a face turn (with or without UE) and Balor moving up to top heel, so they have these next 2 Takeovers to get there somehow.

They could set it up with Ciampa beating Cole and Gargano beating Balor. They have the title match on a episode of NXT that gets thrown out due to run-ins by Cole and Balor.

Pretty easy event to predict, to be honest. The only ones I'm not confident on are Ciampa/Cole and Kai/Nox.
- Dunne/Riddle win (there are no real teams left for TUE to face if they retain)
- Lee retains (too early to lose the title)
- Kai wins (because 50/50 booking, and I see this feud dragging out until Tampa, because I don't think Rhea is defending the title at Takeover: Tampa)
- Balor wins (its too early for him to be taking a clean loss, and its another feud that could be dragged out to Tampa)
- Ripley wins (I don't think Bianca was ever meant to be built up as a big threat and big star to counter Rhea. She'll lose, maybe put someone else over at Tampa, and then move up to RAW or Smackdown afterwards)
- Cole retains (feud will get dragged out until Tampa though)

Dunne and Riddle to win tag titles because like said there are really no other challengers for UE
Balor and Gargano - I think Johnny wins here but Balor comes back at him as the Demon and Gargano will be the only one to defeat the demon at Mania which will end Finns time in NXT.
Lee Vs Dijak -- Lee wins...unless there is a plan to put the world title on him at Mania but I think this is coming during summerslam weekend
Dakota Kai and Teagan Knox -- Sadly I have no interest in this because like I said all the momentum it did have has long since drained away...Teagan to win here definitively and end the feud.
Bianca Vs Rhea - I want Bianca to win here to save us from a gawd damn Rhea Vs Charlotte match for the title but I think this ends in a f***ery finish and we build to a triple threat at Mania......because I think even they have to be coming to the realization that Rhea Vs Charlotte is just not gonna hold the audience....just look at the promo between the three if not for Bianca that promo would have sent over like a fart in church.
Cole Vs Ciampa - This one is the most difficult to predict because Ciampa needs to win the title off of Cole but if you want to strap him up on the biggest stage to make it an even bigger deal then we gotta go with another f***ery finish here and one I would go with is neither man can anwser a 10 count after brutalizing one another ..and then we drag it out to Tampa in a last man standing match and just for added drama there must be a definitive winner.

Be honest, who entirely expects themselves to open the Network tonight to watch the show only to be reminded it isn't until Sunday?

Bianca Vs Rhea - I want Bianca to win here to save us from a gawd damn Rhea Vs Charlotte match for the title but I think this ends in a f***ery finish and we build to a triple threat at Mania......because I think even they have to be coming to the realization that Rhea Vs Charlotte is just not gonna hold the audience....just look at the promo between the three if not for Bianca that promo would have sent over like a fart in church. I would be shocked if Bianca is included at Wrestlemania in the NXT Women's title match. Otherwise they likely would have thrown her onto RAW by now in some form. It's very likely they just pulled the trigger on the Charlotte feud early because it leaked out, and WWE was likely desperate to boost ratings for NXT (although it didn't work). As for Bianca looking strong lately, its probably just to give her some credibility since it was almost completely shot before the Rumble. She'll likely lose clean on Sunday, and probably put someone over at Takeover Tampa before being moved to RAW or Smackdown. I don't see her remaining on NXT after Mania since she's been very vocal about how she absolutely hates being separated from her husband. Not to mention there isn't much left for her to do. She's feuded with almost every woman on the brand. Plus with Io returning probably very soon after Mania, Bianca is going to get eclipsed again anyways. The audience (and viewerbase) very clearly prefers her over Bianca, and they'll probably cool off on Bianca after Portland anyways.
