10 HUGE WWE NXT TakeOver: Stand & Deliver Predictions You Need To Know
6. Io Shirai (c) Vs. Raquel Gonzalez
TakeOver's real main event regardless of if it's instead being used to prop up the first of two nights of action, the most prestigious title in the entire company is set to elevate a sure-thing after months of careful and generally excellent execution.
Io Shirai Vs Raquel Gonzalez is why we we all watch this. Gonzalez' charge through the ranks since last summer has been exhilarating, matching her improvement in-ring along the way. Quietly stepping out from Dakota Kai's shadow (the pair have become the first after countless attempts over the last few decades to actually warrant the "Diesel and Shawn" comparisons), she's become the undeniable end boss for 'The Genius Of The Sky'.
Shirai has merited a feud like this for months. Too often, it's just been about the assured quality of the match rather than the meat of the angle, but this has proffered both before the bell. Hopes and expectations are high, but so too should be the outcomes. The booking has worked almost as hard as the wrestlers inevitably will - this should be amazing.
Winner - Raquel Gonzalez
