Caveat: I haven't watched NXT in a very, *very* long time.
Team Black and Gold (Tomasso Ciampa, Johnny Gargano, Pete Dunne, and LA Knight) vs. Team 2.0 (Bron Breakker, Carmelo Hayes, Grayson Waller, and Tony D'Angelo), WarGames Match: For some reason, Vince is saying a giant screw-you to Triple H. No way 2.0 doesn't go over here. To do otherwise would be to admit failure.
Raquel Gonzalez, Io Shirai, Cora Jade, and Kay Lee Ray vs. Dakota Kai and Toxic Attraction (Mandy Rose, Gigi Dolin, and Jacy Jayne), WarGames Match: Gonzalez's team, I guess.
Cameron Grimes vs. Duke Hudson, Hair vs. Hair Match: Grimes wins.
Imperium (Fabian Aichner and Marcel Barthel) (c) vs. Kyle O'Reilly and Von Wagner, NXT Tag Team Title Match: Imperium retain.
Roderick Strong (c) vs. Joe Gacy, NXT Cruiserweight Title Match: Strong retains.

I've been watching NXT continuously, and I have no idea how most of these matches are going to shake out. I'd love to have some clear sense of direction here. 2.0 is the future, but the booking so far has been that these guys, as talented as they are, suffer from a lack of experience, but each time they get a little better. So, I'll take:
1.0 for the men Toxic Attraction for the women - there's a real clear push here Hudson - Word is, they want to do a full makeover on Grimes Imperium - this is the only one I feel confident on (watch them put the titles on Von Wagner) Strong - only to remove the weight limit on the title the next week
I'm not a fan of NXT 2.0. I'm not a fan of putting so many green wrestlers in War Games matches. And I'm really not a fan of a War Game PPV where William Regal hasn't bellowed "WARR GAMES!!" leading up to it.
Men - NXT 2.0 Women - Team Raquel Cameron Grimes O'Reilly & Wagner Roderick Strong (Why is a non-cruiserweight allowed to compete for that title? Why is this a heel/heel match?)

Since Reigns wrestled Big Show on SmackDown, he needs a match for Fast Lane. There isn't a title match on this show, so like HIAC and TLC, there needs to be an additional match besides Cena/Rusev to draw interest.
