9 HUGE WWE NXT TakeOver: WarGames 2020 Predictions You Need To Know
9. A Cruiserweight Championship Match, Probably
NXT has elected to promote the WarGames pre-shows by virtue of who they've on the panel.
Sam Roberts is a familiar presence across company KickOffs by this point, but he and co-host Wade Barrett will be joined by ESPN correspondent and wrestling fan Ariel Helwani. Fiercely respected for his MMA coverage, Helwani will hopefully be allowed to speak with relative freedom as Pat McAfee always did during his own stints on the show.
It's not all that common for them to force a match on at the last minute, but could this added bit of press be a ploy to convince viewers to make an effort to tune in? Santos Escobar has been short an obvious challenger outside of prior contender Jake Atlas getting one more craic, and this may be a cuter way to glue one last match onto the show without having to rush-promote it on a go-home episode.
Don't bet the house on a title change if the match is a late addition. Escobar's beaten everybody so far - it feels as though if he is going to lose, the result wouldn't be such a shock.
Winner - Santos Escobar
