Check out our NXT TakeOver New York predictions below!

Pete Dunne (c) vs. Walter (WWE UK Title)

Bill Pritchard: Pick: Walter
Tyler Treese: It’s time for Dunne to finally drop the belt. Pick: Walter
John Clark: Pick: Walter
Alex Santa Maria: Pick: Pete Dunne
Ross Berman: Pick: Walter
Harry Kettle: Pick: Walter
Colin Tessier: How long can Pete Dunne hold the title? He has to lose it eventually and TakeOver: New York seems like a good time to do it. Walter is a beast and he’ll continue his fast rise to the top. Pick: Walter

Bill Pritchard: Pick: War Raiders
Tyler Treese: I’ll go with the team that isn’t on the main roster constantly. Pick: War Raiders
John Clark: Pick: War Raiders
Alex Santa Maria: Pick: War Raiders
Ross Berman: Pick: War Raiders
Harry Kettle: Pick: War Raiders
Colin Tessier: Black and Ricochet are transitioning to the main roster but the War Raiders have barely done anything since winning the titles. There’s a small chance Black and Ricochet win and appear on RAW with the titles but the smart money is on the War Raiders winning, possibly due to the inference of another team. Pick: War Raiders

Bill Pritchard: Pick: Bianca Belair
Tyler Treese: I just want the belt off Baszler. She hasn’t been interesting in a while. Sadly, I think she retains it because there hasn’t been a good build here. Pick: Shayna Baszler
John Clark: Pick: Io Shirai
Alex Santa Maria: Pick: Shayna Baszler
Ross Berman: Pick: Shayna Baszler
Harry Kettle: Pick: Shayna Baszler
Colin Tessier: This match would be a good way to take the title off Baszler while protecting her. But whoever the next champion is will be better off beating her in a singles match. (That would be more impressive than winning a multi-person match.) Baszler retains it here. Pick: Shayna Baszler

Bill Pritchard: Pick: Matt Riddle
Tyler Treese: I think Riddle comes up short (but moves onto the main event scene) and Dream continues his reign. Pick: Velveteen Dream
John Clark: Pick: Velveteen Dream
Alex Santa Maria: Pick: Velveteen Dream
Ross Berman: Pick: Velveteen Dream
Harry Kettle: Pick: Matt Riddle
Colin Tessier: Matt Riddle’s hot streak won’t end here. The North American title has been tossed around like a hot potato in recent months. But it’s fairly clear that Dream’s time in NXT is coming to an end. Riddle will take the title and push Dream closer to the main roster. Pick: Matt Riddle

Bill Pritchard: Pick: Johnny Gargano
Tyler Treese: It’s time for Gargano to go to the main roster and for Cole to get a marquee run. Pick: Adam Cole
John Clark: Pick: Adam Cole
Alex Santa Maria: Pick: Adam Cole
Ross Berman: Pick: Adam Cole
Harry Kettle: Pick: Adam Cole
Colin Tessier: Gargano needs to win this match. We don’t get the culmination to his incredible rivalry with Ciampa but this is a good consolation prize. Cole’s (unfortunately) probably going to get called up to the main roster soon, which means Gargano will become the new gold standard in NXT. Pick: Johnny Gargano
