The new NXT Champion Finn Bálor makes his way to the ring.

 

Greg Hamilton is in the ring with Finn and he congratulates Finn Bálor on his victory two weeks ago when he defeated Kevin Owens. He asks Finn how does it feel now that he is back in the NXT Arena. Finn says he has been doing this for fifteen years in Europe, Mexico, and eight years in Japan. There were a lot of difficult decisions and hard choices and sacrifices made. One of those decisions was whether to come to NXT. The moment he was handed the title belt, every one of those decisions, choices, and sacrifices were worth it to be able to hold up the title.

 

Greg mentions the rematch against Kevin Owens at Takeover in Brooklyn and he brings up the contract signing.

 

Finn says that Kevin has made a huge impact. He became NXT Champion, he sidelines Sami Zayn, he sidelined Hideo Itami, he beat Neville, he beat Cesaro, he beat Rusev, and he beat John Cena. However, he did not beat Finn Bálor in Tokyo. At the Barclays Center, Finn says that he will walk in as NXT Champion and he will walk out as the champion.

 

We are back and William Regal is in the ring with the contract signing table. He says that NXT continues to raise the bar. On August 22nd at the Barclays Center that bar will continue its meteoric rise. The largest NXT crowd will witness the rematch .

William brings out Finn Bálor.

 

William asks Finn to sign the contract, but Kevin stops him. Kevin asks how does it feel? How does it feel to be the NXT Champion? Kevin asks how does it feel to know that you are going to defend your title in the biggest main event in the history of NXT that will take place in BROOKLYN. How does it feel to know that you are going into that match as champion, but still as the underdog? All of those things you talked about earlier that Kevin did. You are right. He won that title two months after his debut. What were you doing two months after your debut? It wasn’t winning the title because that was him.

 

He did cripple Sami Zayn more than once. He sent Neville out of NXT. He beat Cesaro, he dropped Rusev on his head, and he did beat John Cena. That is just in his first six months. He is going to tell Finn what he is going to do in Brooklyn. He is going to show you and all of these idiots that Japan was nothing but a fluke when he becomes the first ever two time NXT Champion and take Finn Balor out for good.

 

Finn tells Kevin he has heard it all before and he knows that Kevin likes to talk. He will take Kevin’s words and shove them down his throat in Brooklyn.

 

Finn signs the contract. William gives Kevin a pen to sign the contract and Kevin signs the contract. Regal says that it is official that on August 22nd, Finn Bálor will face Kevin Owens for the NXT Championship.

Finn Bálor & Samoa Joe vs. Kevin Owens & Rhyno

 

Joe attacks Rhyno early and tags to Balor, who dropkicks Rhyno. Unfortunately for Balor, he’s driven back first into the corner where Owens beats him down. Rhino continues the assault as we go to our final commercial break.

 

We come back to see Rhyno hit a great delayed vertical suplex on Balor, where he squats several times while doing it. Owens is tagged in and applies a headlock, which gets “headlock city” chants. A five knuckle shuffle connects, but Balor busts out of an AA atempt to tag Joe.

 

Joe and Rhyno are in, and Joe dominates until Owens distracts, allowing Rhyno to hit a spinebuster. Owens tags in, eats a uranage, but Owens hits him with a pop up powerbomb. Balro answers with a Pele kick, and Rhyno accidentally Gores Owens. Balor with the Coup de Grace for the win.

Bálor goes to the stage and Rhyno hits Bálor with a body block and then kicks Finn off the stage.

 

Finn Bálor vs Rhyno
 

This match is set to be a decently long one, as they’ve left about 20 minutes on the clock. NXT Champion Kevin Owens comes out to do commentary, and ends up bashing Byron Saxton literally the entire time. Bálor gets a few shots in early, but the whole match is basically Rhyno in control, Finn building momentum with the crowd, powering out of rest holds, then getting beaten back down. They actually get two commercial breaks in. Owens gets up from commentary and goes after Bálor but gets dropkicked off the apron. Finn dodges a Gore and hits the double foot stomp from the top rope to pick up the 1-2-3.

 

Winner: Finn Bálor

 

Owens immediately goes on the attack after the match, pummeling Bálor and tossing him around the ring. They brawl to the floor and we get a tease of the powerbomb on the apron spot, but Samoa Joe rushes the ring to make the save. Owens and Rhyno retreat together and hang out on the entrance ramp while Bálor and Joe stand tall in the ring, to end the show.

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
