This post will be updated throughout the evening to reflect live coverage of all the important information, noteworthy things that transpire, winners for all the match results, recaps of promo/talking segments and more. Keep refreshing for the most up-to-date results!
Preview & Predictions for WWE NXT:
On tap for tonight's episode, two more Superstars will join Ricky Saints in qualifying for the upcoming ladder match to crown a new NXT champion on February 3rd. My bet is more on Josh Briggs than Shiloh Hill (but it wouldn't shock me if they went the other way) and since Eli Knight has been confirmed to be on the NXT roster while "Super" Sean Legacy hasn't yet been announced in that way, I guess Knight wins out, but I'd normally lean toward Legacy. We'll obviously also learn some more information about the remaining three spots and those qualifying matches.
Swipe Right should absolutely beat Chase U. No questions.
Now that The IInspiration are out of TNA Wrestling and The Elegance Brand is back to being in charge of the TNA Knockouts World Tag Team Championship, I think we're looking at a babyface team winning the triple threat title shot. WrenQCC stand out to me as the underdogs who could win, but it's a lot easier to continue telling the ZaRuca split up if Sol Ruca and Zaria get the shot and lose, so I'll go with them here to set them up for that failure. Then again, they could just lose this match instead.
There is a good chance Ethan Page loses the NXT North American Championship to Elio Lefleur, but I think we'll see more of a "put up a good fight and nearly had the title won, but what an impressive debut" for Lefleur instead, with Page cheating.
