10 Predictions For NXT After TakeOver: Toronto

Following what was an outstanding TakeOver event in Toronto, NXT is in as good a state as it has been in months. The action was terrific and the show has taken some twists and turns that the audience didn't see coming. Points of interest include Joe's regaining of the NXT Championship, DIY finally reaching the tag team mountaintop, and Asuka's undefeated streak continuing as she takes more of a 'tweener' role. NXT's roster is performing at an elite level once again and they have many different angles that they could possibly take in the coming months.

NXT are still trying to recover from the exodus of talent in the WWE Draft and to regain their unbelievable momentum from a year ago, so they will likely make booking decisions and implement new ideas to keep the eyes of the WWE Universe focused on the developmental brand.

Here are 10 predictions for NXT after TakeOver: Toronto.

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.
