#3 Velveteen Dream vs Matt Riddle (NXT North American Championship)

Is the Dream over?
Is the Dream over?

The NXT North American Championship will turn one during WrestleMania weekend, with the title enjoying a pretty incredible first year. We got some tremendous classics, from the 6-way ladder match to Adam Cole vs Ricochet to Ricochet vs Johnny Gargano.

This match, while possibly not at the level of the aforementioned bouts, will still be a great one. Matt Riddle has come in and done a great job and while he could have been booked a bit better, is really looking fantastic and is a legitimate threat to anyone in the WWE.

He will challenge Velveteen Dream, who has been one of the most consistent performers in NXT. It is astonishing that a 23-year-old man is so good at every aspect of professional wrestling.

While he could easily stay in Full Sail for a couple more years and it wouldn't shorten his main roster career, Velveteen Dream is absolutely ready to move to the main roster. The first step to his NXT yellow brand farewell would be putting over the undefeated former MMA fighter. This could potentially make Matt Riddle on the yellow brand.

Prediction: Matt Riddle wins the North American title
