So Sanity should be a lock for tonight, right? The Iconic Duo should probably be there too.

Then I would guess Drew if he's healthy.

Drew has said he has unfinished business in NXT, so I don't quite think he's a lock. And Almas is supposedly not being called up yet either. I think they want to go through the rematch clause cycle with Almas first.

I almost wonder if they just bring up EY and Wolfe to start and put Dain with Hanson and Rowe to lead up to War Games

I figured they'd do this as soon as Carmella won the title tbh. Good move IMO.

I mean he's one of the 3-4 biggest babyfaces in the company at the moment, behind Bryan and Seth and Braun, so heat isn't an issue. He'd probably have more main event opportunities on Smackdown than Raw, which is/has been kind of top heavy.

The next set of NXT tapings is tonight. We'll probably start seeing a build towards Takeover: Chicago. I would imagine a bunch of write offs as well. I can see Almas potentially being written off tonight, Sanity will be, Ember is possible (dunno if they'll give her a rematch).

In terms of future feuds though, I would guess we'll either see Almas and Black again or Black and McIntyre for the NXT title. BSS vs Undisputed Era, and probably Kairi or Dakota vs Shayna being set up/run. I have no goddamn clue with regards to the North American championship.

In terms of outright wild guessing, I wouldn't rule out them setting up Kairi vs Shayna for Takeover: Chicago, with Kairi going over Shayna or someone tonight (and possibly again at Takeover Chicago). WWE has a pretty major 2 day Japan tour coming up in June, and they'll probably want Asuka, Nakamura, and Kairi (if she goes on the tour which is pretty likely) with gold around their waists. Anyways, time for some actual spoilers:

------------

Zelina Vega vs Candice LaRae was announced for tonight.

Lars Sullivan vs Killian Dain in a no DQ match was also announced.

I can't resist linking the dark match just because it cracks me up for whatever reason: https://twitter.com/JJWilliamsWON/status/984197826711375873

https://twitter.com/MrJacobCohen/status/984201257677152257 :shobon:

Also he is vowing to become the next #1 contender for the NXT title.

Hahaha Liv Morgan accidentally tweeted out a picture of the match list tonight.

Ricochet defeats Fabian Aichner.

Yeah its worth noting that the leaked match list included some dark segments (ie: segments that didn't air in ring) that may have some interesting implications. Black supposedly got into a confrontation with Ciampa backstage, so I wouldn't be shocked if that's the Takeover: Chicago match, with Gargano screwing Ciampa out of the title.

Dusty finishes on Takeovers is a very un-NXT thing to do. Usually matches have clean finishes

They could do a title match on the next set of tapings between Black and Ciampa and Johnny gets involved, leading to a three-way at Takeover, though.

PWInsider posted:

After making a return to the ring in the 2018 Royal Rumble and being backstage at Wrestlemania 34, former WWE champion Rey Mysterio is heading to Saudi Arabia for the Greatest Royal Rumble on 4/27, PWInsider.com has confirmed.

Mysterio has been on WWE's radar since his surprise return at the Royal Rumble in Philadelphia in January, easily receiving the biggest reaction of anything on the show up until that point.

That appearance opened WWE up to the potential of signing a new deal with Mysterio, where before, previous talks had stalemated over WWE management wanting a full-time return. Mysterio, at 43-years old and with an untold number of knee surgeries behind him, has been looking for a part-time schedule.

Mysterio and WWE have been in discussions in recent weeks, but there's been no confirmation as of yet as to the two sides coming to terms. All that can be confirmed as of this writing is that Mysterio has agreed to the 4/27 event, which will air live on the WWE Network.
