NXT Takeover: WAR GAMES - Last-minute predictions

NXT Championship Match

Drew McIntyre(c) vs. Andrade Almas

This could be the match of the evening!

At first glance, some fans may not think this matchup has any sort of potential, as far as being a show-stopper. However, as we witnessed during this week's NXT on the WWE Network, Andrade 'Cien' Almas made a huge statement to the entire NXT Universe that not only is he a legit contender for the NXT title, but if McIntyre isn't careful, we will indeed have a new champ this weekend.

Drew McIntyre is still enjoying his triumphant return to the company that once all but gave up on him. No longer is he some air-guitar playing sideshow act. Now he is on the road back to the main roster for what will likely be a much bigger run than before.

JC Says

This contest will be much like a chess match. Almas, while probably still being a heavy underdog, has proved his worth in recent months. As the rosters have been through a plethora of changes and some have come and gone, Almas has remained relevant through what appears to have been NXT's toughest period.

Unfortunately for him, his opponent is a world-class athlete who has succeeded in all four corners of the globe.

Winner: Drew McIntyre
