6 WWE NXT Takeover Rival Results Predictions

2. Number One Contender's Match: Adrian Neville Vs. Finn Balor

This should be a great match with an international flavor as England's Adrian Neville takes on Ireland's Finn Balor. They are two guys that spent over a decade working all over the world to get to WWE and they are two of the best performers in NXT. The winner of this match gets a shot at the NXT Champonship. Neville's a former NXT Champion that is looking to get back to that level again while Balor started in NXT a few months ago, so he's looking to get his first shot at the NXT Title. It's basic wrestling booking that is being set up with the rising star having to beat the former champion to face the current champ, whomever that may be. They're both babyfaces, so it's a match where the fans will support both guys and will enjoy it because it's fresh in NXT. Do a search of "Pac vs. Prince Devitt" on Youtube. You'll find some great matches that they had. Things are different now, but if you watch their old matches you can see that they have incredible chemistry as well as similar styles. They're not big guys. They're quick and also powerful for two shorter wrestlers. Since Neville should be called up to the main roster soon and Balor is a big star that's on the rise in NXT, it makes sense that Neville does the job. There's still a chance that Neville wins just because they might want him to face Owens if he leaves with the title. That way they can have Neville put over a different champ like he put over Zayn multiple times. Hopefully Balor brings out the body paint for this one like he did at the last Takeover special. That's something that allows him to really stand out. A win by Balor makes the most sense. Give them 15 minutes. It should be outstanding. Winner: Finn Balor
