Finn Bálor vs Rhyno

 

Finn has some luck with kicks and high flying moves early, but ultimately falls to the size and strength of the ECW original. Rhyno controls for several minutes, working rest holds and using power moves like shoulder tackles. Balor catches him with an enzuigiri on the top rope, knocking him to the floor, and following up with a suicida to take them both out.

 

When they come back from break, Rhyno has somehow gotten back in control. He keeps the pace of the match down, working more rest holds and beating down Finn with powerslams and clotheslines whenever he builds up any momentum. Balor with a kick in the corner and a flying forearm to mount his comeback, but he runs into a big spinebuster for two.

 

Big Pele Kick out of nowhere, followed by the Slingblade from Finn. Hesitation dropkick into the corner, but he misses the double foot stomp. Rhyno sets up for the Gore, Balor side-steps the move and rolls him up for the three-count.

 

Winner: Finn Bálor

Finn Bálor vs. Tyler Breeze to determine the #1 contender for the NXT Championship

 

Lock-ups and exchanges early. Breeze doing his heel-ish duck-outs, but is not playing it like he’s intimidated.

 

Finn looks like he’s going for a dive when Tyler rolls out, but Prince Pretty charges at him. The next exchange ends when heel kicks the Irishman down to the apron. They look evenly matched, but Breeze gets the upper hand again following a neckbreaker.

 

Early trip to chinlock city, but TB is unable to get a pinfall. Balor eventually reverses out of a Sunset Flip with a dropkick, and another one sends the model to the floor to set-up a double stomp there. Breeze gets rolled back in, but moves before Finn can hit his finisher.

 

Breeze thwarts Bloody Sunday, but gets caught in a Sling Blade. Balor runs right into a Supermodel Kick that gets a nearfall. Tyler leans on the ropes, pretending to catch his breath but actually uncovering the turnbuckle. The ref moves him but doesn’t catch it. Tyler puts the boots to his opponent, but is nearly tossed into the corner. He pulls up short, and tosses the Irishman into it and hits the Beauty Shot. 1 – 2 – NO!

 

After complaining for a bit, Finn gets back on the offensive and Breeze goes to walk out. But Finn came from the side to lay him out, climbed the rafters above the stage and dove onto him on the ramp! He carried his opponent back to the ring, blasted him with a drop kick and hit the Coup de Grace.

 

Winner: Finn Bálor

Finn Bálor recently spoke to MTV UK, below are some highlights from the interview. You can read the full interview here.

Getting called up to the main roster:

 

“A lot of people keep talking about this call up to the main roster but for most of us at NXT we all believe what we’re doing at the moment is equally as important and we’re all fully committed to that. I’m not in any rush to make a move to Raw or SmackDown. I’m very content at NXT and there’s a lot of challenges and a lot of milestones still to be achieved in NXT before I make any move. We all believe that we’re creating an alternative and we believe this is something we can sustain, grow and develop.”

 

The NXT brand growing:

 

“I want to be part of the growth of NXT. I’m one of the leaders of what we’re pushing. It definitely feels like a renaissance period for wrestling right now, there’s definitely a ‘boom’. We’re on the verge of another boom period and I want to be one of the people at the forefront of that.”
