(TGBH) What it do, what it is, what it isnt, welcome back to another predictions blog as we get set to run down a third card this week. They said it couldn’t be done, but that’s because they didnt even try, but also because they aint thee blog World order. Never underestimate the power of elite bloggers who are also super friends, we dont play about this right chea. And a big shoutout to all 12 of our loyal readers, we do it for yall.
(PCM) Not gonna lie, NXt is one of my weak points, but you know I will still go into this full bore. It is nice to see we are firmly set into the next generation of NXT. Expect to see this class in the next few years on main roster TV.
(DSS) I am ready for this! There is so much damn wrestling happening and it's fantastic. NXT always puts out the best PLEs, and this one looks to be no different. I’m half invested and half not in NXT, but the half that is is incredible. NXT has one of the best women’s rosters in all of professional wrestling, and y’all know how much I love that.
(TGBH) The bWo train never stops, unless we run out of charcoal. But until then, the wheels are on fire, rolling down the road. Here’s to pulling off the hat trick, and we still got one more to go. Lets get to it yall!
PreGame w/bWo:
Great American Bash 2026
Shiloh Hill vs. Tristan Angels
(TGBH) NXT Night Shift favorite and Mr.NXT, Shiloh Hill is quickly gaining popularity with the NXT Universe is a welcome talent week in and week out. He reminds me alot of my younger brother, who is just as tall and also missing the same tooth. Tristan Angels is truly a gem that doesn't need much polishing and will make some real noise in NXT. This will likely open the show and will get the crowd going into a frenzy for Mr. NXT. I expect a very entertaining matchup here with plenty of in-ring action to put both young talents on the map.
The Great Brown Hope’s Pick:
Shiloh Hill via Pinfall
PaperClip Mike’s Pick:
Darkstar Shady’s Pick:
Shiloh Hill
WWE Women’s Speed Championship
Wren Sinclair(c) vs. Arianna Grace
(DSS) Wren Sinclair is an interesting case for me. I went from feeling indifferent towards her to her really growing on me since she’s been around Kendal Grey. Arianna Grace is a literal princess. She deserves anything she wants, and if she’s coming for the Speed title, I’m not sure if Wren Sinclair can hold her off. Arianna Grace already conquered TNA this year, and now she’s looking to start her ascent to the top of NXT. Put the strap on her and let Wren go to the Women’s North American title picture.
Darkstar Shady’s Pick:
Arianna Grace via Pinfall
The Great Brown Hope’s Pick:
Arianna Grace via Pinfall
PaperClip Mike’s Pick:
Wren Sinclair via Pinfall
Saquon Shugars vs. Dion Lennox
(PCM) To be fair, do we really care about Darkstate? Yeah, they came in hot, but cooled off way too quickly. Once they won and lost the title quickly, they have been a non-factor.And they are already doing the ‘kick a member out’ angle? Yeah, this stable is not long for the world. I see Shugars picking this up as he weeds through them.
PaperClip Mike’s Pick:
Saquon Shugars via Pinfall
Darkstar Shady’s Pick:
Dion Lennox via Pinfall
The Great Brown Hope’s PickDion Lennox via Pinfall
NXT North American Championship
Myles Borne(c) vs. Tavion Heights
(TGBH) Myles Borne as North American Heavyweight Champ just aint doing it for me. The division is kinda light and i feel like we’ve already had this match before and neither has done anything interesting since. Sure Evan’s cousin Myles Borne is primed for the big time, but to what Heights will Tavion go? This might be the sleeper match of the night, for their sake I hope it is.
The Great Brown Hope’s Pick:
Myles Borne via Pinfall
PaperClip Mike’s Pick:
Myles Borne via Pinfall
Darkstar Shady’s Pick:
Tavion Heights via Pinfall
NXT Women’s North American Championship
Zaria(c) vs. Tatum Paxley
(DSS) Let me start by saying that I love Tater. She’s fantastic and I loved seeing her as champion. With that said, this rematch is just a formality. Tatum is just a box Zaria has to check to feel completely confident as champion. Yes, Tatum is scrappy and chaotic and she could make this match go fifty different ways, but Zaria is a dominant force. She absolutely deserves a solid championship run now that she’s rid herself of Sol Ruca holding her back in NXT. Tater is going to move on to bigger and better things while Zaria decimates the NXT midcard roster.
Darkstar Shady’s Pick:
Zaria via Pinfall
The Great Brown Hope's Pick:
Zaria via Pinfall:
PaperClip Mike's Pick:
NXT World Heavyweight Championship
Tony D’Angelo(c) vs. Naraku
(DSS) Naraku is one of the cooler signings that NXT has had. A lot of talent has been passing on WWE for AEW that I half hoped would join up, so this is big. That said, Tony D’Angelo is the veteran that NXT truly needs. He’s been around the block…a few times. He’s stuck it out…for multiple eras…and now he’s the NXT champ that we need. This feud can go a lot longer so it ain’t time to pull the trigger. Naraku brings a lot to the table, but Tony D’Angelo was there when they discovered how to make that table. Let him have his run and get some big wins before he finally crowns whoever will be the future of NXT…someday.
(TGBH) Another NXT PLE, another Tony D'Angeblows match. Never would you see me pick Tony in a match, til today. Nothing against Naraku, but I think we’re bound to get another match between these two. Perhaps maybe even a triple threat. The World Heavyweight Division is picking up steam and this will be the beginnings of the next era. Someone backstage really likes Tony, and if they do, they may have one more month as champion planned out for him.
(PCM) This is an interesting case. We finally have a chase for the title. I admittedly might not be the biggest fan of D’Angelo, but he has done some of his best work since the reinvention. I like to see power struggles at the top. You have D’Angelo, Naraku, and Mason Rook; the top is looking good after the void left by the exodus. I see Naraku getting the win here.
Darkstar Shady’s Pick:
Tony D’Angelo
The Great Brown Hope’s Pick:
Tony D’Angelo via Pinfall
PaperClip Mike’s Pick:
Naraku via Pinfall
NXT Women’s Championship
Lola Vice(c) vs. Kendal Grey
(TGBH) Lola Vice has made it to the top and looks like a star in the procezz. She’s a hot commodity, but can she sell shirts? I haven’t been paying attention, but I also haven’t noticed very many Lola shirts. I’m a Lola fan myself and know she’s got the makings to be a top star and competitor once she gets the call. She is part of the glue that holds the bridge between NXT and AAA together, let her keep holding it down. Kendal Grey’s time is near, just not this weekend.
(PCM) Is Kendal the future? Yes. Will she hold at least one NXT title? Yes again. Will we see her on the main roster? Eventually. But this will not be her night. Lola has done a great job of not only representing NXT, but also AAA, and I do not see that changing. Look for her to keep the title in a great match.
(DSS) Kendal Fucking Grey is the future of Professional Wrestling. Not of WWE, but of pro wrestling as a whole. She’s got the looks; what doesn’t she have? (The title.) She has the talent; what can’t she do? (Win the title yet.) Lola Vice has been on the rise for a while, and she’s put in a lot of work to get to the top—she rightfully deserves this reign. I do hope Kendal is the one to take the strap from her, but she’s going to have to get through at least one more match before she does.
