Will the Game shock the world?

In what could possibly be one of the greatest TakeOvers in the history of NXT, Triple H and his creative team could be planning something epic for this Saturday.

NXT TakeOver: War Games II features four exceptional bouts, with the more prominent being the War Games match set to be contested between the Undisputed Era and Pete Dunne, Ricochet, and the War Raiders.

There's no denying that these events are designed keeping in mind the taste and the expectations of the audience, with Triple H's incredible wrestling ideology coming into full display.

Over the years, the Game has brought something very special to the canvas with his creative genius in NXT, and while he is dealing with an injury, he could be planning something incredible for this Saturday's event.

With Johnny Gargano working as a heel now, his clash with Aleister Black seems to be the one to look out for. Here are 4 legitimate shockers Triple H could be planning for NXT TakeOver: War Games II.


#1 Pete Dunne turns on Ricochet and joins the Undisputed Era

This could steal the show

A significant reason why this bout is possibly the most anticipated is due to the incredible agility and character these performers have shown throughout their feud.

The Undisputed Era is running riot in NXT and with Triple H being the creative genius behind this force, the Game could possibly take the faction to the next level.

With Pete Dunne and Ricochet already sharing a tumultuous relationship with one another, there's a strong possibility that some miscommunication could coerce them to fight again.

There's no denying that the Bruiserweight works pretty well as a heel than a face, and therefore, screwing his side to join hands with the Undisputed Era could be met with a deafening sound from the crowd.

Just like Roderick Strong, Pete Dunne could align with Adam Cole and propel the faction to unimaginable heights. This betrayal would also open the possibility of a classic 'Ricochet-Pete Dunne' feud, with the former garnering more sympathy and support.

#2 Kairi Sane defeats Shayna Baszler clean to win the NXT Women's Championship

A genuine reason why legions of the WWE Universe enjoy watching NXT Takeovers is because of the unpredictability factor that it brings to the squared circle.

Kairi Sane's bout with Shayna Baszler at WWE Evolution saw the former lose her NXT Women's Championship to the Queen of Spades with necessary interventions from Marina Shafir and Jessamyn Duke.

Since William Regal has announced an incredible stipulation for the match, it remains to be seen what would it take for Kairi Sane to dethrone the NXT Women's Champion.

Considering that the Pirate Princess has Shayna's number when clashing with her in a competitive setup, and with chances of Baszler making the transition to the main roster soon, Sane could dismantle her momentum again.

Defeating Shayna Baszler clean this Saturday would be beneficial for both the competitors with Baszler possibly entering as the fifth participant in the Women's Traditional Survivor Series match for SmackDown, and Kairi Sane moving on to far better things.

#3 Johnny Gargano pulls out every tactic in the book to defeat Aleister Black

Will Johnny Wrestling emerge victorious again?

In what is possibly the most anticipated match of the night, a new heel in Johnny Gargano will square off against Aleister Black.

Since Gargano attacked Black for his own benefits, the former NXT Champion will bring everything to the table to knock Gargano out this Saturday.

However, since the 33-year-old has achieved everything he could have in NXT, losing to Johnny Gargano this Saturday by unfair means would gravitate more heat towards the Rebel Heart.

With the fans loving the storyline that is progressing with the Rebel Heart, Johnny Gargano would definitely pull out every heel tactic in the book to defeat Aleister Black.

This would probably result in garnering more heat for the recently turned heel in Johnny Wrestling, and would also assist in bringing Black to the main roster.

#4 Johnny Gargano assists Tommaso Ciampa in defeating Velveteen Dream to retain the NXT Championship

This would be incredible
This would be incredible

Velveteen Dream's clash with Tommaso Ciampa for the NXT Championship has all the ingredients of a potential classic, but the night might not end up being so faithful to the Dream.

Since both Ciampa and Gargano are now working as heels, there's a strong possibility that Triple H could be planning to align them before they go to war somewhere down the line.

The story is compelling and would do justice to the unforgiving heel in Tommaso Ciampa whilst also protecting Velveteen Dream in the process.

While this might not be the main event, costing Dream an incredible opportunity to win the NXT Championship could gravitate some sympathy towards him and turn him into a fan favorite.

This is more about aligning DIY than anything else, and with both the superstars enacting their roles to perfection, costing Dream and Black could make them an even more powerful unit than they were before.
