Thoughts & Predictions

WWE NXT will present No Mercy this Saturday on Peacock and Netflix from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, with a 7:00 PM Eastern start time for the show. And thus, here are a few predictions.

NXT Men’s World Championship Match:
Oba Femi vs Ricky Saints.

I want to see Ricky win, but unless Femi is moving to the main roster, now is not yet the time. We’ll have a good match, and I expect Ricky to look great, but it will be all for naught. The champion retains.

Winner and STILL NXT Champion: Oba Femi.

NXT Women’s World Championship Match:
Jacy Jayne vs Lola Vice.

Jacy has been the champion for far longer than anyone expected, and she’s been killing it, doing an excellent job. But all things must eventually come to an end. And Vice has been getting the spotlight more and more often over the past few weeks. She’s not John Cena, but her time is now.

Winner and NEW NXT Women’s Champion: Lola Vice.

NXT Men’s North American Championship Match:
Ethan Page vs Tavion Heights.

Page has been on a roll as of late, and is, in my mind, the current MVP of NXT. He’s not losing that title yet.

Winner and STILL NXT North American Champion: Ethan Page.

NXT Women’s Speed Championship Match:
Sol Ruca vs Lainey Reid.

I had forgotten the Speed Championship was still a thing. No title switch here.

Winner and STILL NXT Women’s Speed Champion: Sol Ruca.

Weaponized Cage Match:
Blake Monroe vs Jordynne Grace.

When was the last time Grace won a match in NXT? All the hype when she came from TNA, and since then, what? I think TNA has a mole that will end up joining WWE NXT, and due to frustration and losing matches that she should win, like this one, I think Grace may end up being a mole in NXT. Grace dominates, but Monroe ends up with the win.

Winner: Blake Monroe.

Je’Von Evans vs Josh Briggs.

Je’Von lost to Sami Zayn earlier tonight on SmackDown, so he’ll need to get his win back and redeem himself. Evans wins.

Winner: Je’Von Evans.

And there you go with my predictions. So, what are yours? Let me know how you’re feeling about all of this. Thanks for reading, and I’ll see you at the matches.
