NXT North American Championship Adam Cole (c) vs. Ricochet
This is the hardest match on the card to predict. Ever since the legendary ladder match in New Orleans, the North American Championship hasn't been at the forefront of NXT programming...until now.

The stakes go beyond the title. Ricochet arguably can't afford a high profile loss. At the same time, Adam Cole hasn't been able to truly stamp his place in history as being a memorable champion worthy of being the inaugural titleholder. Adam Cole dropping it so soon would feel underwhelming.
That's why I lean slightly in Cole's favor here, but it's only razor thin. Ricochet can be protected in defeat somehow, whether it's through interference or another way, and he'll almost certainly find himself continually embroiled with the Undisputed Era on the march to war games.
Prediction: Adam Cole defeats Ricochet to retain the NXT North American Championship, in cheap fashion
