WrestleZone Staff Picks: NXT UK TakeOver: Blackpool Predictions

The WrestleZone staff did pretty middling with our NXT TakeOver predictions, and now we’re back to pick the winners of NXT UK TakeOver Blackpool. It’s a fun card filled with what should be some exciting matches!

Check out our NXT UK TakeOver Blackpool predictions below!

Dave Mastiff vs. Eddie Dennis (No DQ)

Bill Pritchard: Pick: Dave Mastiff
Tyler Treese: Honestly, this is a toss-up. I’m just going to go with the odds and pick the opposite of Bill. Pick: Eddie Dennis
Harry Kettle: Pick: Eddie Dennis
Robert DeFelice: I’m going with Dave Mastiff in spite of the fact that I’m fully aware that they have been pushing Dennis. I’m choosing Dave because much like with Devlin I think he has a lot of potential. I don’t get a chance to watch a lot of this brand so maybe I will see something from Dennis that makes me think he is the second coming, but we will see on Saturday. Pick: Dave Mastiff
John Clark: Pick: Dave Mastiff
Michael McClead: Pick: Dave Mastiff
Ross W Berman IV: Pick: Dave Mastiff

Travis Banks vs. Jordan Devlin

Bill Pritchard: Pick: Jordan Devlin
Tyler Treese: Devlin is primed to be a star, and I see him challenging for the title soon. Pick: Jordan Devlin
Harry Kettle: Pick: Jordan Devlin
Robert DeFelice: I’m going with Jordan Devlin because I don’t know enough about either of these men, but I do know that from what I’ve seen of Jordan Devlin he has all the tools to be a huge star. Pick: Jordan Devlin
John Clark: Pick: Travis Banks
Michael McClead: Pick: Jordan Devlin
Ross W Berman IV: Pick: Jordan Devlin

Moustache Mountain (Trent Seven and Tyler Bate) vs. Grizzled Young Veterans (James Drake and Zack Gibson) (for inaugural NXT UK Tag Titles)

Bill Pritchard: Pick: Moustache Mountain
Tyler Treese: The money is in the babyfaces chasing the title, right? Give them strong heels to overcome in the future. Pick: Grizzled Young Veterans
Harry Kettle: Pick: Moustache Mountain
Robert DeFelice: I’m going with James Drake and Zach Gibson. Moustache Mountain are already well-established, and unless they’re looking to make the championship instead of the competitors, I think the smart thing to do is put it on the heel tag team. This match may steal the show. Pick: Grizzled Young Veterans
John Clark: Pick: Moustache Mountain
Michael McClead: Pick: Moustache Mountain
Ross W Berman IV: Pick: Moustache Mountain

Rhea Ripley (c) vs. Toni Storm (For NXT UK Women’s Championship

Bill Pritchard: Pick: Rhea Ripley
Tyler Treese: It’d be a real shame if they take the belt off Ripley so soon. Pick: Rhea Ripley
Harry Kettle: Pick: Toni Storm
Robert DeFelice: I think this will be Toni Storm’s night. She’s been through a lot recently and it will be interesting to see how the crowd and the commentary team acknowledge what happened, if they do at all. Pick: Toni Storm
John Clark: Pick: Toni Storm
Michael McClead: Pick: Rhea Ripley
Ross W Berman IV: Pick: Rhea Ripley

Pete Dunne (c) vs. Joe Coffey (For WWE UK Championship)

Bill Pritchard: Pick: Pete Dunne
Tyler Treese: Coffey is great, but he isn’t the one to beat Dunne. Pick: Pete Dunne
Harry Kettle: Pick: Pete Dunne
Robert DeFelice: This will sound mean but I just do not see James Coffey as the guy who defeats the guy who has been champion for 600 days. I think the real big challenge for Pete will be determined by whether or not WALTER is in the crowd. Pick: Pete Dunne
John Clark: Pick: Pete Dunne
Michael McClead: Pick: Pete Dunne
Ross W Berman IV: Pick: Pete Dunne
