If you thought Balor’s return to NXT wasn’t surprising enough, then the surprise at the end of the show must have really overwhelmed you.

The main event of the night saw The Undisputed Era defend their NXT Tag Team Championships against The Street Profits. Both teams seem incapable of having a single bad match inside the ring.

After a fantastic back and forth battle, The Undisputed Era stood tall once again. They were joined by their partner and NXT Champion Adam Cole to close out the show. However, Tommaso Ciampa made a surprise return and stared down Cole and his NXT Championship.

We all know how much Ciampa loves Goldie, and it won’t be long before he takes on the NXT Champion to get his belt back.

The entire night helped set up future rivalries and championship matches, as Balor and Ciampa returned to the company eyeing the NXT Champion.

That wasn’t all. Damien Priest attacked Pete Dunne after his match, to make a huge statement about his next target. Io Shirai also defeated Mia Yim in an incredible match, and we could see her emerge as a future NXT Women’s Championship challenger in the coming weeks.

What else could we have possibly asked for from this week’s episode of NXT?
