6 WWE NXT TakeOver: Unstoppable Results Predictions

1. Sami Zayn vs Kevin Owens (c) - NXT Championship Match

Despite the rumours of Sami Zayn's shoulder injury being confirmed by WWE, this match is, as of the time of writing, going ahead as planned. Despite the Go-Home edition of NXT being pre-taped weeks ago, editors were able to sneak in an audio insert of Zayn reassuring the fans that the match will take place. This is both a sigh of relief for fans, but also a cause for concern. While Zayn and Owens' feud has been absolutely electric, both men knocking it consistently out of the park, and it's great that fans aren't robbed of the big rematch for the title, fans have to be worried about Zayn wrestling on a dodgy shoulder, especially with the temperature of this feud damn near requiring a high-intensity brawl. However, it's possible that WWE only suggested that the match would go ahead in order to not interfere with what they already pre-taped for the Go-Home show and still in fact plan to pull Zayn from the match. Either way, expect Owens to walk out of Full Sail with his title reign intact. Even if he's healthy enough for Unstoppable, there's no way Zayn should be wrestling the full NXT schedule. It's likely that the outcome of the match will be similar to their last encounter, with Owens brutalising Sami to the point where he cannot continue, allowing him to take time off to fully heal. Furthermore, with Zayn receiving the reception that he did during his cameo on Raw last week, it cannot be long before he's called up to join Neville on the main roster full-time. As brief as his title reign was, regaining the NXT Championship doesn't really do anything for Sami Zayn at this point. Winner and still champion: Kevin Owens
