NXT TakeOver WarGames 2020 Predictions

WarGames Match: Team Shotzi (Shotzi Blackheart, Ember Moon, Rhea Ripley, and NXT Women’s Champion Io Shirai) vs. Team Candice (Candice LeRae, Dakota Kai, Raquel Gonzales, and Toni Storm)

Team Shotzi vs Team Candice

The personal rivalry between Candice LeRae and Shotzi Blackheart on NXT has reached a boiling point. Now, this feud will culminate in a WarGames Match.

Blackheart made an enemy out of LeRae at NXT Halloween Havoc when she snuffed out Indi Hartwell's interference. LeRae felt that Blackheart cost her this NXT Women's Championship match. She retaliated by heinously running over Shotzi’s beloved tank in a hummer. Weeks later, a WarGames Match featuring their two teams will see them settle their score once and for all.

Both squads are stacked with stars. Shotzi has assembled a loaded a foursome. She will be backed by Rhea Ripley, Ember Moon, and Io Shirai. Dakota Kai and Raquel Gonzalez have aligned with "The Poison Pixie." The heel team was recently rounded off by the addition of Toni Storm. She completed a stunning heel turn by betraying Moon on NXT.

The amount of star power involved in this bout makes one argument clear. NXT has the best women’s division in pro wrestling right now. The bad blood between the groups should lead to a brutal match. Team Kai could certainly walk away victorious. But the super babyface team getting revenge over LeRae's army makes the most sense here.

Either way, expect some sort of shenanigans in this match. Maybe Hartwell will get involved in an effort to help LeRae. But Team Shotzi is more than equipped to manage any threat.

Our Pick: Team Shotzi
