NXT Battleground 2025 Predictions

It’s the first PLE since WrestleMania weekend for the NXT guys and gals. A massive stacked card including a title match for a non-WWE title.

  • Hank Walker, Tank Ledger & Josh Briggs vs The Culling (Brooks Jensen, Niko Vance & Shawn Spears) in a 6-man tag team match.
    • PREDICTION: Hank & Tank have been fantastic since winning the NXT Tag Team Titles, so they would be enjoyable, but having Josh Briggs come into this after losing his tag team partner in Inamura (as he has gone back to Japan) is a difficult position for him. Outside of Shawn Spears, The Culling is nothing more than a geek group designed to take pins. Hank, Tank & Josh to win. HONK HONK!.
  • Sol Ruca (C) vs Kelani Jordan in a singles match for the NXT Women’s North American Championship
    • PREDICTION: Kelani is back in the title picture as she won against Sol’s tag partner, Zaria on NXT TV this week. Kelani was the inaugural champion of this title at this very event last year. I don’t think she becomes a 2-time champion. Sol Ruca to win and retain.
  • Tony D’Angelo vs Channing “Stacks” Lorenzo in a singles match.
    • PREDICTION: The story leading up to this has been amazing. This is going to be a great fight and I hope we see Adrianna and Luca pop up in this match too. Tony to win.
  • Joe Hendry (C) vs Trick Williams in a singles match for the TNA World Championship.
    • PREDICTION: This is the first time a TNA title is being defended on a WWE Premium Live Event. As much as I really would like to see Trick taking the title off him, you know that TNA management wouldn’t allow that. It’ll be a great match overall, but Joe is retaining.
  • Stephanie Vaquer (C) vs Jordynne Grace in a singles match for the NXT Women’s Championship
    • PREDICTION: This is a tough one for me. Stephanie is already ready for the main roster and given that Giulia has already been signed to SmackDown this week, I don’t think Stephanie is too far behind. Maybe she will stay until after SummerSlam and then get called up. One could argue that Jordynne is already ready for the main roster, but I believe she wants to stay in NXT for a bit. Stephanie to win and retain, but I won’t be surprised if the title changes hands.
  • Oba Femi (C) vs Myles Borne in a singles match for the NXT Championship
    • PREDICTION: I want to root for Myles, but it’s against Oba, and he is going to chop him down. I cannot see a way for Myles to win this, unless there are shenanigans from the rest of the NQCC (which is highly likely). Oba to win and retain.

And those are my predictions. Enjoy the show on Sunday.
