I don't see Angle returning, with his issues there's no way he will pass the medical tests. If he's there in Dallas it will likely be for Wrestlecon

ok guys my much anticipated predictions for tonight's NXT Takeover are finally here 
NXT Dallas:
American Alpha beat Revival - Revival are terrible heel's, they were expected to generate heat from the crowd but whenever they come out the crowd are silent. American Alpha are on the hype train at the moment and gaining momentum. This is not going to be an Enzo and Cass moment where they fail at the last hurdle. A lot of the build up on NXT talks about how Gable was disappointed at his failures at London 2012 and how Jordan was disappointed at not winning some amateur wrestling title in college. I think they are making a point that they are no longer going to fail and they are going to win for once. The crowd loves American Alpha as well. I anticipate that they will win the titles at Dallas and then lose them once a better heel tag team comes onto the scene.
Austin Aries beats Corbin - I think with it being a debut for Austin Aries they will want him to win this match. Corbin has kind of ended up jobbing to the bigger names in the NXT business and whilst at one point he looked like a potential NXT champion contender he's been pushed aside as the main heel on the roster by Samoa Joe and now it appears that NXT are just jobbing him out. I imagine the main plan is to get him onto the main roster soon like they did with Tyler Breeze and to let him have a few decent matches on NXT in the meantime before he's called up after wrestlemania.
Apollo Crews defeats Elias Samson via DQ - This is a hard match to call and part of me thinks this may end up with Apollo Crews winning via DQ. Elias Samson has been promoted as a drifter with crazy eyes and a fragile mental state of mind. He has been beating up jobbers on tv every week until last week when he faced a semi decent wrestler in Gargano and got defeated for the first time (on tv). This sparked Samson going mental and attacking Gargano after the match ended. I think Samson may hit Crews with his guitar and get DQ'd and then carry on beating Crews up. This gives Samson a massive chance to become a major heel on the NXT scene, gives Crews momentum going in as a face title contender when Finn Balor gets called up onto the main roster.
Bayley beats Asuka - This was tough for me to decide because I don't like Bayley holding onto the title for as long as she has, and for some reason I am not a fan of Asuka so I don't want to see her win it either. We all know Bayley will eventually get called up onto the main roster at some point. Will it be immediately after Wrestlemania? I don't think so. I see no reason why Bayley can't retain and still get called up to the main roster anyway. It's a battle of the faces, Bayley is obviously more popular and I think that gives her the edge. Asuka's been constantly feuding with Emma and her sidekick since her arrival. The women's title match feud has not even really had much air time.
Nakamura beats Zayn - Another debuting NXT wrestler. I think this will be an exciting match to watch with Nakamura coming out on top. Zayn is now on the main roster and also wrestling at Wrestlemania for the IC Title so I can't see any reason for him to win here. At least if Nakamura wins he can generate something out of it and use it to propel himself in NXT.
Samoa Joe beats Finn - Whilst I don't think Bayley will get called up to the main roster after Wrestlemania I think Balor will. It seems pretty certain that the bullet club will either appear at Wrestlemania or on the Monday Night Raw and Balor will be the leader and make his debut. If Balor is getting a big push onto the main roster there is no reason for him to retain his NXT title. Joe has also been pushed heavily as the biggest heel on NXT and not only is he a heel, he is a loved heel bit like how Kevin Owens was. Fans love him so I can easily see Joe winning this with his Coquina Clutch and making Finn submit.
The fans will not want to see two massive faces of the company lose in one PPV. The company will probably want to appease fans by letting Bayley win and retain her title and letting Balor lose and leave to join the Main Roster. In order to hype up the PPV I am predicting an early title change and then to have one final title change in the very last match. Two debut wins and a DQ match should keep the fans amused and happy throughout the PPV leading to a successful Takeover and a great lead up to sunday's Wrestlemania.
If there are any suprise appearances I will guess Enzo and Cass with Carmella may appear in a promo or Emma may interfere with Asuka.
I will give my Wrestlemania predictions in the next day or two.

Crazy to think Triple H could be involved in both the best and worst things of Mania weekend

I'm hoping Reigns beats HHH for the title in the main event then goes out into the crowd and kills all the virgin Daniel Bryan fans who boo him for not being Daniel Bryan.
Wow, I remember when this show happened all those years ago
HA!
"Which ones Dawson? Which ones Dash?"
Vicious!
"Which ones Dawson? Which ones Dash?"
Vicious!
If they've booked The Revival to win, they need to call an audible and change it PRONTO
Some cracking cheating there!
HOT tag!
Fans BOUGHT that near fall!
