5 HUGE NXT TakeOver: WarGames 2019 Predictions You Need To Know

4. WarGames (Men)

Team Ciampa Undisputed ERa

Assuming Velveteen Dream as the main man, the babyface side is loaded with those that want revenge on The Undisputed Era, and in captain Tommaso Ciampa's case - "Goldie" over Adam Cole's shoulder.

Ideally, Saturday's battle is a keen compromise of the first two editions of the encounter. In 2017, the contest moved at a blistering clip but lacked an insane and crowd-centering high spot beyond the moment Adam Cole avoided the action.

A year later and loads happened leading up to Ricochet's eye-popping double moonsault, but each spot felt laborious and detached from any kind of story.

This needs the cohesion of first match the violence of the second, and this contest may well do that thanks to Undisputed Era's rich current form and the advantage they hold over this crew of babyfaces.

1-1 in WarGames encounters so far, the crew will want the win, but this is too useful a time to give Tommaso Ciampa a huge win over Adam Cole. Pinning the Champion will send his confidence into a tailspin ahead of the Survivor Series, and again position Ciampa as one of (if not the) next contender for the prize.

Winner - Team Ciampa
