Velveteen Dream losing the North American title so soon is tough to swallow, but so is the King of Bros taking his first loss. I wish I didn\u2019t have to choose because these two are my favorite wrestlers in NXT, but I think Velveteen is closer to the main roster call-up than Riddle, so I\u2019m sticking with Riddle.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Walter over Pete Dunne to become new NXT UK Champion.<\/strong> I\u2019ve flip-flopped on this one a few times, but ultimately, Walter is the right man to take the title from WWE\u2019s longest reigning champion. Pete Dunne is 25 years old and is going to be a huge part of WWE going forward, but we\u2019ll all be singing along to \u201cIV Allegro con fuoco\u201d as Walter raises the NXT UK title over his head.<\/li>\n<li><strong>War Raiders over Ricochet and Aleister Black to retain NXT North American Tag Team Championships.<\/strong> Unlike the previous two, this bout is a little bit easier to forecast. I can\u2019t see any conceivable way it makes sense for the War Raiders to drop the titles here. Also, NXT has buried the rest of the division in order to promote Ric and Black which not only made the outcome of this match a foregone conclusion, but leaves the War Raiders without any real competition after TakeOver. Unless Ricochet and Black pull off the improbable and win all three tag team titles (Raw, Smackdown, and NXT) Wrestlemania weekend\u2026ahhhh\u2026that\u2019s just too good.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Shayna Baszler over Bianca Belair, Io Shirai, and Kairi Sane to retain NXT Women\u2019s Champion.<\/strong> There is a possibility that either Belair or Shirai win the title by pinning each other or Sane, but I don\u2019t think either of them can carry the division right now. It\u2019s Baszler\u2019s division and unless the WWE has major plans for a four horsewomen showdown to close out Wrestlemania, it\u2019ll stay that way.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Adam Cole over Johnny Gargano to become the new NXT Men\u2019s Champion.<\/strong> My God, this card is as stacked as the WrestleMania one and caps off with high quality championship match. Another one that I\u2019ve gone back and forth on, but ultimately, NXT loves its heel champions and Cole fits that bill to a T. I\u2019m hoping Johnny sticks around in NXT for a while and builds a new championship story with Cole, but I think he has 205Live written all over him. It\u2019s finally Adam Cole\u2019s time, BayBay.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>NOW CHECK OUT OTHER\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/category\/prowrestlingnews\/weekly-overviews\/\">WEEKLY OVERVIEWS HERE<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>OR JUMP TO LAST WEEK\u2019S WWE OVERVIEW:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2019\/03\/31\/weekly-overview-nxt-thru-3-28-top-stories-of-week-major-show-lineups-live-event-results-schedule-of-live-events-noteworthy-social-media-posts-more\/\">WEEKLY OVERVIEW \u2013 NXT (thru 3\/28): Top stories of week, major show lineups, live event results, schedule of live events, noteworthy social media posts, more<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-312245207\"><div id=\"pwtor-3460175525\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>The following is the latest in\u00a0a new series of\u00a0weekly in-depth articles\u00a0exclusive to PWTorch which will help put in perspective major wrestling promotions with a weekly overview, looking at news and roster developments, results, future line-ups, <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2019\/04\/06\/weekly-overview-nxt-thru-4-4-top-stories-of-week-major-show-lineups-live-event-results-schedule-of-live-events-noteworthy-social-media-posts-more\/\" title=\"WEEKLY OVERVIEW \u2013 NXT (thru 4\/4): Top stories of week, major show lineups, live event results, schedule of live events, noteworthy social media posts, more\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":15962,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"episode_type":"","audio_file":"","podmotor_file_id":"","podmotor_episode_id":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","filesize_raw":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","itunes_episode_number":"","itunes_title":"","itunes_season_number":"","itunes_episode_type":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,13,6075],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-77761","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-prowrestlingnews","category-news_nxt","category-weekly-overviews"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2016\/04\/NXTLiveLogo.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/77761","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=77761"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/77761\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":77772,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/77761\/revisions\/77772"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/15962"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=77761"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=77761"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=77761"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
