NXT Takeover: New York Preview and Predictions

=====================================================

Get ready for another action-packed installment of NXT's premier event series as WWE presents NXT Takeover: New York! Taking place at the sold-out Barclays Center in Brooklyn this Friday night (April 5th), all eyes will be on what’s next for the future stars of professional wrestling.

As always, we've got you covered with our expert preview and predictions for tonight's stacked card. So grab your popcorn, settle into that couch, and get ready to witness greatness as NXT takes over New York!

Main Card Predictions

----------------

1. Finn Bálor (c) vs. Neville - Cruiserweight Championship

In what shapes up to be an instant classic encounter between two of the sport's most electrifying performers, current Cruiserweight Champion Finn Bálor will put his title on the line against hard-hitting challenger and former champion-in-waiting Neville.

The 'Demon' has been in top form lately, stringing together a remarkable 5-0 undefeated streak that includes victories over fellow grappling phenoms Tyler Breeze & Apollo. With momentum firmly on his side combined with home turf advantage (Bálor hails from nearby Belfast), it's hard to see anything but another victory for the Irishman.

Prediction: Finn Bálor retains via submission

2. Cesaro vs. Braun Strowman - No Holds Barred Grudge Match

After months of bitter animosity boiling over into a series of intense altercations both in and out of the ring, former tag team partners turned sworn enemies are finally set to settle their scores once and for all when 6'8' behemoth Cesaro faces off against monstrous force Braun Strowman.

With neither man willing to hold back whatsoever (literally speaking), expect an absolute war zone erupting inside Barclays Center as these two titans clash in what promises to be one of the wildest pay-per-view encounters on this year's calendar!

Prediction: Braun Strawoman via pinfall

3. Asuka vs. Becky Lynch - Women's Championship Elimination Chamber Match

In a bout that could potentially shape the future direction of women’s professional wrestling itself, current NXT Women's Champion Asuka puts her title on the line against former Divas & Smackdown Women's legend and long-time rival Becky Lynch in an elimination chamber match.

With both competitors looking stronger than ever heading into tonight’s show down (Asuka recently vanquished Sasha Banks to retain her gold), it remains anyone's guess who will emerge victorious from this thrilling clash of titans. Will The Queen Of Pro Wrestling add another piece of hardware to her already bulging collection, or can the Empress Of Tomorrow continue her dominance over her longtime nemesis? We'll just have to wait and see!

Prediction: Becky Lynch wins via pinfall
