Thoughts & Predictions

Sunday night, on Peacock and Netflix, the WWE presents NXT Heatwave, live from Lowell, MA. And you know what that means, right? It’s prediction time. Let’s get to it, shall we?

Men’s World Championship Match:
Oba Femi vs Je’Von Evans.

Evans continues to improve, and while still a little sloppy for my taste, is well on the way to becoming a top name. But, is he ready to be the top dog and take that NXT Championship away from Oba Femi? I just don’t see it happening. We’ll get a great David versus Goliath match, but in this story, Goliath wins. Look for Femi to retain the title.

Winner and STILL NXT Champion: Oba Femi.

TNA Knockouts Championship Match:
Jacy Jayne vs Masha Slamovich vs Ash by Elegance.

A TNA wrestler has to win a TNA Championship back at some point, right? And here, we have two of them against the current TNA Knockouts Champion, Jacy Jayne. I expect we’ll see distractions from the factions, Fatal Influence, and The Elegance squad, and it will be wild and chaotic. And she of the annoying name that sounds like it was lifted from Vince McMahon’s ’80s playbook, Masha Slamovich, will come out on top.

Winner and NEW TNA Knockout Champion: Masha Slamovich.

NXT Tag Team Championship Match: Hank Walker and Tank Ledger vs Dark State (participants to be announced).

The Dark State members are Dion Lennox, Osiris Griffin, Cutler James, and Saquon Shugars. Who’s wrestling? I have no idea. But who wins? I think I know. Hank and Tank find the way, get the win, and keep their titles.

Winners and STILL NXT Tag Team Champions: Hank Walker and Tank Ledger.

Blake Monroe vs Jordynne Grace.

Two ladies with so much hype coming in, and we get this. Oy vey! Grace is quickly losing her luster, while Monroe hasn’t really found hers yet, in my opinion. This will probably be the Budweiser break for me. And Monroe needs the win more than Grace does.

Winner: Blake Monroe.

Number One Contenders Match:
Jaida Parker vs Lola Vice vs Kelani Jordan.

Just two weeks ago, she was fighting Judgment Day in Mexico, and now, she’s looking at title contention. I think Lola Vice is getting ready to have a rocket strapped to her back. She’s getting the win here.

Winner: Lola Vice.

Ethan Page and Chelsea Green vs Tavion Heights and Tyra Mae Steele.

I would never mutiny nor commit an act of treason against Chelsea Green. This will probably be the most entertaining match of the night, and regardless of the outcome, Green and Page will steal the show. The odds are that Heights and Steele will score the pin, but I dare to defy the odds. I’m calling a victory for Page and Green, as it should be.

Winners: Ethan Page and Chelsea Green.

And I guess that’s all the matches listed as of right now, Friday afternoon. This is a really stacked show and should be very entertaining. So, what are your thoughts and predictions? Let me know what you think. And I guess that is all the people need to know. Thanks for reading and for the continued support. Be sure to like, share, and subscribe.
