Ok, so I know it's a little early to make one of these threads but I thought why not?
So I imagine the next special will take place either in February or March (perhaps even around Wrestlemania time). Now I've skimmed the spoilers for the next four weeks (or five if they're skipping Christmas). And there really isn't a true direction to where they're heading yet.
The obvious is Zayn vs. Owens, but I wouldn't be surprised if they hold it out longer. Also Neville is still hanging around for the time being. I saw Baron Corbin defeated Bull Dempsey on the last taping. I'd figure they would have held that match off til the next special but I could see them doing a gimmick match at the special.
After that, it's dicey. Charlotte really has no more challengers. She beat Bayley and Bayley has been losing left and right. She beat Sasha at Takeover and will beat her again at the 2nd taping I believe. She doesn't really have any more credible challengers. The ones that were she beat. I don't buy Becky in that spot over Bayley or Sasha. They haven't built up Bliss to do it (at least not yet). So what to do with them? My guess is a multi match like a Triple Threat of Fatal Four Way.
Itami and Balor defeated The Ascension at Takeover and beat them again at the tapings. And the Ascension are moving up to the main roster. I don't see them sticking around for the next special (or at least they shouldn't). So what do you do with them now? Do they split and build seperate stories? Do they continue as a team? Do they challenge for the titles perhaps?
And speaking of the tag titles, what about the Lucha Dragons? Who should challenge them next. The Vaudevillians again? Enzo & Cass? Team Thick? Am I forgetting anyone?
And what about Tyler Breeze? Tyson Kidd? They deserve to be on the next special after missing the last one (if Kidd is still technically an NXT guy).
Damn I'm rambling, didn't mean to for this to be this long, lol. But still, it's different from the last Takeover event. After the first set of tapings following Takeover 2 in September, we had a clear plan for the next special card. Now it all seems up in the air. Again, all I got now is potentially:
NXT Championship
Kevin Owens vs. Sami Zayn
Gimmick Match
Baron Corbin vs. Bull Dempsey
So just for fun, what are your predictions for the next NXT special? What do you think will and/or should happen? Really curious to see the predictions because there isn't a real clear direction to where they are going.
