Predictions for NXT Takeover: Phoenix

NXT North American Championship: Ricochet (c.) vs Johnny Gargano

This can potentially be a five-star match

Tommaso Ciampa suggested to Johnny Gargano that he challenge Ricochet for the NXT North American Championship at NXT Takeover: Phoenix. A few weeks later, Johnny Takeover laid Ricochet out with a superkick before the match was made official. Johnny Gargano has proven that he is more dangerous than ever with victories over both Humberto Carillo and Aleister Black.

Now that Johnny Gargano is not defined by his morals anymore, he is willing to do whatever it takes to succeed. However, Ricochet has not done much as NXT North American Champion and deserves the chance to have an extremely successful reign. Therefore, Ricochet will likely retain the NXT North American Championship against Johnny Gargano to show Johnny Gargano that being the bad guy is not exactly the answer.

Prediction: Ricochet defeats Johnny Gargano via pinfall with the 630 Senton.
