NXT Takeover Chicago 2018 Predictions

7) Aleister Black Will Retain The NXT Championship 

I do think that Aleister Black is going to end up retaining the NXT Championship. To me, it seems way too early to think about putting the NXT Championship on Sullivan.

While saying that, I don’t think Sullivan will be losing clean. I think the match will end by disqualification or something that extends this feud for a little longer. I really doubt Triple H would have his monster Sullivan pinned clean in the middle.

8) Keith Lee Will Make An Appearance In The Crowd

WWE sometimes likes to show big free agent signings in the crowd during NXT Takeover events. We have seen this happen in the past with names like Drew McIntyre, War Machine, and EC3.

I think that we will be seeing WWE do that in Chicago for Keith Lee. Lee is rumored to have already signed with WWE and will be reporting to the Performance Center starting in July. This would be a pretty great way to showcase him to the fans and get them excited for his arrival.

I am guessing that we will see Lee at some point during the show.

9) Io Shirai Will Make An Appearance In The Crowd

Similar to what I said about Lee, I think WWE will also show Io Shirai during Takeover. She is another big name that is rumored to be signing with WWE. Shirai is considered as one of the best female wrestlers in the entire world.

With the 2nd Mae Young Classic coming up in a few months, I would guess that WWE will want to showcase her to fans to get them excited. I think we could see her in the crowd or in some sort of segment during the show.

I actually think Shirai has a better chance of being shown in the crowd than Lee.
