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

This match might not have the same hype that the others do, but NXT has done a good job in the past few weeks of building it up. Dream makes everything he's a part of feel important and his glory-hogging personality clashes well with Riddle's mellow "bro" persona.

It may be a difficult one to predict, but I don't see Dream losing his title so quickly after he won it. NXT spent a good portion of February building Dream up, first by having him win the Worlds Collide tournament, then by having him get the win for his team in the Halftime Heat match, and then by having him beat Johnny Gargano for the title in a thriller.

Furthermore, Matt Riddle is undefeated, and I think NXT will want to hit the brakes a little so his streak doesn't turn into an albatross.

Other titles are likelier to change hands on the show, so for those reasons also, I think this one is staying put.

Winner: And still NXT North American Champion, Velveteen Dream.
