WWE’s third brand has a standalone event in Bridgeport, Conn. this weekend, here’s the breakdown of potential winners and losers.
This Saturday’s NXT Takeover 25 show will mark the beginning – and possible end – for a number of superstars careers with the promotion.
With five matches on the Takeover card, there will be no shortage of action and storytelling, but who will walk out of Bridgeport, Connecticut the champions of their respective divisions? Fans are guaranteed to see at least one new champion after the NXT Tag Team Championships were vacated, leading to a multi-team battle to crown new title holders.
Shayna Baszler continues to hold a tight grip onto the NXT Women’s Championship, but she’s never faced her opponent one-on-one before so there could be a changing of the guard in the women’s division.
There’s a lot expected to happen on Saturday, but here’s our picks to win their respective matches.

SHAYNA BASZLER (c) VS IO SHIRAI – NXT WOMEN’S CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
Shayna Baszler has been the foundation of the NXT Women’s division. While others like Kairi Sane and Ember Moon were whisked away to the main roster, Baszler has continued to dominate the competition and elevate the prestige of the division while doing it.
I do feel, however, Io Shirai is someone NXT is really high on. I think they want to put the title on her as soon as possible.
