With WrestleMania around the corner, WWE would try to make things as interesting as possible and fans could be in for some intriguing twists at the show. Here are five possible surprises that could take place at NXT TakeOver: Vengeance Day.
Be sure to comment down and let us know your predictions for the show.
New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE
#5 Johnny Gargano quits NXT after losing his title at NXT TakeOver
NXT TakeOver: Vengeance Day will feature North American Champion Johnny Gargano defending his title against Kushida. This past week on NXT, Gargano faked an injury angle and tried to avoid defending his title this Sunday by not being medically cleared to compete. However, his act didn't last long as he was caught red-handed.
If there's one title that has the most chances of changing hands this Sunday at NXT TakeOver, it is the North American Championship. However, how would Johnny Gargano react if Kushida defeats him and takes away his title? Well, he might just rage quit NXT claiming that he's done with the brand. Gargano is surely someone who doesn't have anything left to be done on NXT and could be a massive addition to the roster of RAW or SmackDown.
#4 Tian Sha teases her massive plans
WWE fans have seen several out-of-the-world gimmicks throughout history, but never have we ever seen someone like Tian Sha. A 2000-year-old warrior who has been trained by a dragon, the character of Tian Sha is scary, intriguing, and something that has a lot of potential.
While WWE would want to build her character up more before she makes her in-ring debut, Tian Sha could tease her massive plans by appearing after the NXT Women's Championship match at TakeOver: Vengeance Day and staring down at the Champion from the ramp.
#3 Major WrestleMania 37 match is officially announced
NXT TakeOver: Vengeance Day will feature the finals of the inaugural women's Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic tournament. Dakota Kai and Raquel Gonzalez will take on the team of Shotzi Blackheart and Ember Moon for the coveted trophy. That's not all as the winners will also get a future match for the WWE Women's Tag Team Championships.
A massive announcement could be made after this match with Triple H coming out to reveal that the winners will be going to WrestleMania 37 where they will challenge the WWE Women's Tag Team Champions. Currently, the team of Shayna Baszler and Nia Jax hold the titles and might as well enter WrestleMania this year as the Champions.
The WWE Women's tag team titles haven't been featured enough on the Black and Gold brand and maybe it is time for an NXT team to win them. Who are you rooting for to win the finals of the women's Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic at NXT TakeOver: Vengeance Day?
#2 Finn Balor brings out The Demon King at NXT TakeOver
NXT TakeOver this Sunday will feature Finn Balor defending his NXT Championship against Pete Dunne, in what would likely be the main event of the show. The match has all the potential to be a five-star classic as both the competitors will take each other to the limit.
A massive twist in the tale could see Finn Balor come out as The Demon King at NXT TakeOver: Vengeance Day. Balor famously used his dark alter ego during his first reign as the NXT Champion however we are yet to see that in his second reign.
#1 Edge appears at NXT TakeOver after the main event to have a confrontation with the Champion
NXT TakeOver: Vengeance Day could end with a massive confrontation with WWE Hall of Famer and the 2021 men's Royal Rumble winner Edge appearing and congratulating the NXT Champion. Edge has already teased coming after the NXT title and even if those are not the ultimate plans, furthering the tease at NXT TakeOver this Sunday would keep the fans guessing.
On the NXT TakeOver: Vengeance Day pre-show media call, Triple H revealed that Edge really wants to work on NXT and elevate the roster and the brand.
"I don't think any of it is beyond the realm of possibility . . . one way or the other, depending on where WrestleMania goes, beyond that, I think there's a possibility for him to come to NXT and sort of use his star power to one: help them and elevate but also to have that final few chapters of his career . . . that's something he's not only willing to do, but really pushing hard to do."
