NXT TakeOver Chicago - Final Card & Predictions 

#3 NXT Women's Champion Shayna Baszler vs Nikki Cross

Shayna Baszler is the most dominant NXT Women's Champion since Asuka

Shayna Baszler is the most dominant NXT Women's Champion since Asuka. In fact, Baszler is so domineering and so good, it's difficult imagining any woman defeating her for the elusive NXT Women's gold.

In comes, Nikki Cross, who when coming to Dakota Kai's rescue during a recent NXT taping, actually defeated an unprepared Baszler in an unsanctioned impromptu non-title match.

Cross will undoubtedly be Baszler's toughest challenge yet. The former member of Sanity is difficult to predict, as she is ruled by a sheer madness that makes her a dangerous opponent.

Difficult; however, doesn't mean impossible, especially not for a competitor as proficient as Baszler. She is a serious studious athlete and this time she will be prepared for Cross.

Look for Baszler to find a way to methodically take Cross apart, likely using Cross' own emotions against her.

An enraged Cross may be a dangerous to most NXT women; but, to Baszler, Cross' anger puts her at a serious advantage and makes her easy prey.

In her aggression, she will likely over pursue and when she does Baszler will be waiting with a rear naked chokehold for the ages. Look for Baszler to systematically punish Cross and attain victory via submission.

Winner and STILL NXT Women's Champion: Shayna Baszler
