10 HUGE NXT TakeOver: Portland Predictions You Need To Know
3. Randy Orton
...might the latest voices in Randy Orton's head result in him making a trip to NXT to terrorise yet another performer close to 'The Rated R Superstar'?
'The Viper's Monday Night Raw assault on Matt Hardy may have been sendoff material for the North Carolinian, but it spoke to a wider arc that will presumably drag Christian and very possibly Beth Phoenix into his sphere of demented disdain.
Edge's wife was understandably tearful and rattled by the attack when it was briefly addressed on the episode of NXT following the post-Royal Rumble Raw, but has stayed quiet and neutral ever since. Orton meanwhile has yet to explain himself, instead choosing sociopathic anger and violence to double down on his mesmerising misdeed. Might the 'Glamazon' be his next potential target.
As per company policy, a conchairto on a woman isn't something NXT would touch of course, but just how much of a pr*ck would 'The Apex Predator' look stalking her at work? Or even more so if he took out somebody such as 'Captain Charisma' during an attempt to save Phoenix from harm?
This angle has been fantastic so far - it deserves a spot on WWE's actual 'Grandest Stage' before it reaches the formalised one in April.
