10 Predictions For NXT After TakeOver: San Antonio
1. Bobby Roode Vs. Johnny Gargano Vs. Tommaso Ciampa
I don't believe there is a more natural babyface currently on the roster than Johnny Gargano. He is the ultimate underdog and can garner some hugely emotional reactions from fans, playing his role of 'face-in-peril' to a tee in all of #DIY's matches. When you couple this with Tommaso Ciampa's barbaric history as the 'Psycho Killer', you have a combustible storyline ready to blow. They have held of on this explosion for months now, teased at both the CWC and TakeOver: Brooklyn II.
The best way to capitalise on NXT's hottest product is to find a way to incorporate #DIY's captivating story with the NXT Championship. Just as Kevin Owens turned on his best friend Sami Zayn as soon as he won the title, the NXT Championship has proved to be a prestigious enough prize to tear friendships apart. Having both Ciampa and Gargano going after Bobby Roode's title is the perfect way to start the breakdown of their partnership, with an eventual singles match sure to be one of the most engaging feuds in recent NXT history.
