The fourth NXT TakeOver: WarGames pay-per-view will take place on Sunday, December 6th at the Capitol Wrestling Center. NXT fans will be treated to two WarGames matches, with both the men and women set to do battle in "The Match Beyond".
In terms of the women, Shotzi Blackheart, Ember Moon, Rhea Ripley, and NXT Women's Champion Io Shirai go up against Candice LeRae, Dakota Kai, Raquel Gonzalez, and Toni Storm. We should be in for an incredible night,so let's look at five potential finishes to the women's WarGames match.
#5 Shotzi Blackheart dominates WarGames
Check out which wrestler EC3 finds cute RIGHT HERE
NXT has been extremely high on Shotzi Blackheart in the past couple of months. Blackheart served as the host of NXT Halloween Havoc this past October, and she is now one of the team captains at WarGames. She is extremely over with the fans, and has been getting a lot of TV time leading up to WarGames.

With Shotzi being a team captain at WarGames, and with Candice LeRae adding fuel to the fire by destroying her tank, she could be in store for a great showing.
If NXT decides to go down that route, Shotzi would have to eliminate at least three of the four women on LeRae's team and secure the final, match-winning pin. With the way that NXT has booked her though, it's looking like a real possibility this could be the case.
#4 Toni Storm solidifies her new heel turn at WarGames
Following an eight-month hiatus from the ring, Toni Storm made her return to NXT at TakeOver 31 to seemingly team up with the newly-returned Ember Moon. Then, a couple of weeks ago, Storm attacked Moon and turned heel for the first time in her WWE career, before joining Candice LeRae's team for WarGames.
WarGames could be a big chance for her to show that a heel Toni Storm works. The thing about a believable heel, is they have to be tough and relentless. If Toni goes into WarGames and is absolutely relentless with her opponents, it could be a sign of good times ahead. Not to mention, Io Shirai does need a new challenger for the NXT Women's Championship. Using WarGames to set up a Shirai vs. Storm championship match would work wonders for Storm's heel turn.
#3 Ember Moon takes over WarGames
Ember Moon was once considered one of the best women's wrestlers in NXT. She had incredible matches with names such as Kairi Sane, Ruby Riott, Shayna Baszler, and Asuka. Her main roster career was lackluster to say the least, but when she returned to NXT, it excited many fans across the world. Now she's ready to take over WarGames.
Ember Moon is a phenomenal talent, and her return to NXT is a huge shot in the arm for her career. If she can take over WarGames and prove that she hasn't lost a step since her last NXT run, it could help her pick up right where she left off.
#2 Rhea Ripley costs Team Shotzi the WarGames match
When Rhea Ripley won the NXT Women's Championship, many fans figured it was the start of a long run for Ripley... insert Charlotte Flair. Ripley lost her title to Flair at WrestleMania 36, to the dismay of many NXT fans. She then returned by costing Flair the title to Io Shirai, and eventually unsuccessfully challenged Shirai for the NXT Women's Championship herself. Now, she enters WarGames without a clear direction in sight.
With Rhea Ripley being on team Shotzi for WarGames, it opens up a lot of possibilities. Ripley is a great face, however, a badass heel that isn't in NXT to make friends is she excels in.
If Ripley somehow costs Team Shotzi their match at WarGames, it would set up a great feud that could potentially be a catalyst to get Shotzi Blackheart involved in a championship match.
#1 Team Candice dominates WarGames
When you look at Shotzi Blackheart's team for WarGames, you can see it really is a stacked roster. Three of the four women have held the NXT Women's Championship at least once.
Candice LeRae's team has four women who all could be the future of NXT. Even though LeRae is 35 and Dakota Kai is 32, neither have really been a main part of NXT by themselves.
The WarGames match is a great way to give Candice LeRae some much-needed heat after TakeOver. Having her team absolutely demolish Team Shotzi at WarGames would not only elevate every member, but it would give LeRae something to annoy the NXT fans with in the weeks that follow.
Candice LeRae doesn't even have to be a big part of the domination. If NXT has Raquel Gonzalez and Dakota Kai destroy everybody in the WarGames match, LeRae would still benefit due to it being her team.
NXT may want to give the fans an ending they didn't see coming, and what better way than have the heavy favorites get demolished by the heel team at WarGames.
