Ladies and gents, NXT UK TakeOver Blackpool II is on the horizon! I hope you’re all bright-eyed and bushy tailed for this one. It’s coming up at noon Eastern Time, several hours earlier than usual for WWE. Not really a problem with the WWE Network being on-demand and all though. And to me, it’s worth it to watch live, no matter how inconvenient it is for my post-Wrestle Kingdom sleep schedule! We only get a scant few chances to see this brand at full power, and every time, it’s been a true delight. Tonight should be no different. So let’s get into the previews!
Jordan Devlin vs. Tyler Bate
One of NXT UK’s most wicked heels goes up against one of the brand’s most natural babyfaces. Jordan Devlin has a very nice first name but quite the nasty attitude to be sure. The two of them are also incredibly talented young men, bright stars for the future.
So this should be an excellent match but who wins? Honestly, in most cases I might say Devlin just because he’s the most due for a victory, but looking at my other predictions, I sure am coming up with a lot of heel wins… I think the crowd will be happy with the show they had regardless but I just can’t see this event going down without a definitive babyface victory. So that, and everyone’s aggressive need to see Bate-Walter II, leads me to pick Tyler Bate to win this one.
NXT UK Takeover Blackpool II will also include:
NXT UK Women’s Championship: Kay Lee Ray (c) vs. Toni Storm vs. Piper Niven
