#1 Finn Balor vs Kyle O' Reilly (NXT Takeover 31)

Finn Balor and Kyle O' Reilly at NXT Takeover 31

Easily one of the best matches of the pandemic era, a brutal and stiff encounter between Finn Balor and Kyle O'Reilly at NXT Takeover 31 was wrestling at its purest. Both Superstars relished in the violence that they created and enjoyed the creative freedom that they were seemingly given. While both Balor and Reilly have very similar wrestling styles, this was their very first match against each other.

The two performers weaved magic in the ring and used the empty arena concept to perfection.The two NXT stars went on for 28 minutes and ensured that not a single minute was wasted. Finn Balor ultimately came up on top after executing a Coup de Grace. The two men shook hands after the match as a mark of respect for each other.

Unsurprisingly enough, both Superstars found themselves on the injured list and were out of action for some weeks. While Balor suffered a hairline jaw fracture, Reilly had broken teeth and some other unspecified injuries.
