6 HUGE NXT TakeOver: New Orleans Predictions You Need To Know
3. Surprise Surprise
Triple H's reliance on the smile-and-wave indie star at NXT TakeOver shows has become a parody of itself in recent years, with the company no longer even bothering to move the lucky row-two punters away from their chairs as they shuffle through the array of legends and newbies that are shunted in before big matches.
Nothing will change in New Orleans, not least with two of them potentially already showing their faces for the yellow-and-black brand. Following victory over Kassius Ohno and further Axxess success in his sights, PWG favourite and current WWN Champion Keith Lee may be lining up a North American Title shot against whomever scoops the prize.
His contests with recent Performance Centre signee Christopher 'Donovan' Dijak lit up the independent scene in 2017, and he's bursting with charisma to match his tank-like frame.
Another monster looming large over WWE's weekend festivities is Austrian sensation WALTER, though the possibility of him leering down the lens on Saturday seems slightly less likely. And if he did appear, those lucky big-ticket fans behind him best watch for a wave not suddenly becoming a chop. Because there'll definitely be no smile.
