10 Predictions For NXT After TakeOver: Toronto

10. A New Babyface Emerges

NXT has a balance issue currently, namely that the male babyfaces are outnumbered by the heels. With Andrade Almas' recent turn NXT are really only left with Nakamura, Dillenger and Itami as the serious face competitors, while the heels have bolstered their ranks with recent additions like Austin Aries, Roderick Strong and Sanity leader Eric Young.

This could be easily remedied in a few ways, including debuting one of the new NXT recruits as a good guy or turning one of the longer-tenured heels. One such turn could be Buddy Murphy, who has appeared on a few recent NXT live shows as a reluctant teammate to Nakamura and Dillenger and taking on bad guys.

Turning Murphy face would take some work as he hasn't had a great deal of momentum in recent months, but something ought to be done to give the heels of NXT some more competition.
