Diva Dirt staff predictions:
Arianna Grace & Karmen Petrovic vs. Jacy Jayne & Jazmyn Nyx
ALGEO: I think this little pairing of Karmen and Arianna is cute. I’m not sure where it’s going at this point in time, but a win here could definitely tell a story even further.
WINNERS: Karmen and Arianna
JOEY: I’m not complaining this match is on the card bc anytime I get to see Arianna, I’m happy but I can’t see the heels taking the loss here. Plus I’m ready for Jacy to move up in the NXT hierarchy, she’s too talented to keep on being overlooked.
WINNERS: Jacy & Jazmyn
NICK: With them being in Canada and this team being from Canada, it just makes sense for Arianna and Karmen to win. Even though they are a complete makeshift and I don’t see them sticking together, it should be a fun little match.
WINNERS: Arianna and Karmen
NXT Women’s North American Title
ALGEO: I don’t think Kelani is losing the title this early on in her title run. I would not mind seeing Sol Ruca taking the title but at this point, I do believe they’re both equal contenders for the title. Some gold for Sol is long overdue, but we gotta let Lani cook for a little bit.
WINNER: Kelani Jordan
JOEY: I feel like I’ve been so conditioned by NXT booking to not get used to likable babyfaces which is why I can see Sol winning here thus causing Kelani to turn on her but NXT really doesn’t need anymore heels. I’m not sure what taking a loss here does for Ruca but let’s go Lani!
WINNER: Kelani Jordan
NICK: I am so bummed that Sol is getting a shot this soon. There’s no way Kelani is losing this match but Sol being a champion is everything I want. I do love Kelani, so I hope she gets a nice reign as inaugural champ. The babyface vs. babyface dynamic makes it harder to root for. It makes me feel that maybe someone else will get involved.
WINNER: Kelani Jordan
NXT Women’s Championship
ALGEO: I don’t think Roxanne is losing this title anytime soon, especially to Lola. Lola has done a good job at building herself as a potential threat to her title. But, I don’t think it’s the right time yet for her in my humble and honest opinion. Roxanne is arguably the best sound wrestler this roster has, and there’s a lot of potential to just help the division up as its champion.
WINNER: Roxanne Perez
JOEY: Out of all three matches on the card, this is the one I’m looking forward to the most. Roxanne is on another level atm, she’s such a joy to watch in the ring and Lola has a chip on her shoulder and is hungry to prove herself. Lola’s sudden face turn makes me believe she’s not winning here but she’s a favorite amongst management so it’s hard to predict. My gut tell me the champ is retaining though so….
WINNER: Roxanne Perez
NICK: This one is a no brainer. I truly believe it was going to be Giulia’s debut, so they had to turn at the last minute and go with Lola. I like Lola, but she doesn’t scream main eventer to me right now. I almost feel as though she should be facing Kelani and Sol should be facing Roxanne.
WINNER: Roxanne Perez
