At last night's NXT tapings, it was announced that their next special would be taking place on February 11, 2015. They also announced three matches for the card:

WARNING! THIS CONTAINS MAJOR SPOILERS ABOUT

UPCOMING NXT EPISODES!

NXT Title Match
Kevin Owens vs. Sami Zayn

NXT Women's Title Match
Sasha Banks vs. Bayley vs. Becky Lynch vs. Charlotte

#1 Contender's Match
Finn Balor vs. Adrian Neville

I would also expect that they will probably add another match between Baron Corbin and Bull Dempsey.

Match Analysis and Predictions

Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn - NXT Title

These two had some terrific matches in Ring of Honor. Their ladder match (which I think was Zayn's last match as El Generic) featured one of the most brutal finishes I have ever seen. Owens is already leaving his mark on NXT, and the crowd is ridiculously behind Sami Zayn. My wife had to point out to me last night, "Stop yelling at the TV, Sami can't hear you."

Prediction: Sami retains...unless he's jumping to the WWE.

Sasha Banks vs. Bayley vs. Becky Lynch vs. Charlotte - NXT's Woman Title

I also love that we're getting a Four-Way match for the Woman's Title. NXT does a great job featuring female wrestlers, and I expect this will be one of the best cards on the match.

Prediction: This match is really up in the air. I definitely think Charlotte will be losing the title. But, to who? Sasha is probably the best choice, but Bayley has definitely paid her dues and would deserve it too. And Becky Lynch is definitely an X-Factor here. I can see her winning and feuding with Sasha afterwards. All right, stop hesitating. Make a pick. I'll go with Sasha Banks. It's time for The Boss to step up.

Finn Balor vs. Adrian Neville - #1 Contender's Match

This is going to be a crazy match! I can't wait to see who Finn Balor comes as this time. Last time's Carnage costume was just so incredible.

Prediction - Neville and Sami has been done to death. Yeah, the matches are always great, but I think Neville is probably heading up to the main roster real soon. Finn Balor is definitely the future of NXT. Finn takes this one.

More to come as they announce more matches!
