8 HUGE WWE NXT TakeOver: In Your House 2021 Predictions You Need To Know

Ember Moon and Raquel Gonzalez are tasked here with working beyond an extremely predictable outcome.

In the last 30 days or so, there have been two women's championship matches across the industry that you'd have bet your house on, such was the certainty of the result. One of them managed to find a split second of doubt in a two count, and the other...was Raquel Gonzalez's first title defence.

AEW's recent torch-passer between Britt Baker and Hikaru Shida shouldn't stand as a total inspiration (the bulk of the match didn't meet expectations) but they worked the f*ck out of those last three minutes to make believers out of all watching that the Champion was somehow going to retain.

The roles are reversed here, and Gonzalez' fortunes need to go the same way. This should absolutely bang, and Moon's Eclipse only scoring a protracted two should be the first truly defining moment of the Champion's reign. Let Dakota Kai botch some interference to keep that thread nice and loose too.

Winner - Raquel Gonzalez
