NXT WarGames 2021 Preview and Predictions

#4 Toxic Attraction and Dakota Kai defeat Io Shirai, Raquel Gonzalez, Cora Jade and Kay Lee Ray

This one has a better build-up behind it, as NXT seems to be high on the Mandy Rose-Gigi Dolin-Jacy Jayne faction. Dakota Kai is a solid heel in her own right. The other side is a bit more disjointed, as there’s been no explanation behind Kay Lee Ray’s association with the babyfaces and the addition of Cora Jade seems random. The only reason for her addition is likely so that she can take the fall for her team.

#3 Roderick Strong retains the NXT Cruiserweight Championship over Joe Gacy

This would be an awkward match as both participants are heels and Gacy isn’t exactly a cruiserweight. The company seems to have gotten behind his act and his push will likely continue on TV. A loss here won’t derail that. The Diamond Mine continues to be one of NXT 2.0’s bright spots and unless they plan on disbanding the Cruiserweight Title altogether, it’s not the right time to move the title off of Strong.
