#2 Potential involvement in the main title picture

Is there another NXT Title run in the works for Finn Balor?

Finn Balor’s victory over Johnny Gargano might have upset a few fans, but the person who was affected the most is the one who couldn’t lift his shoulder before the referee finished counting to three. That loss triggered Johnny Takeover to betray the trust of his best-friend-turned-enemy-turned-best-friend later in the night.

While Adam Cole and Tommaso Ciampa were involved in their title match, they had a good exchange that saw them turning the tides in their favor in quick successions. They went back and forth with neither man able to gain the advantage. Near the end, there was one clear chance for Ciampa to win back Goldie, as he was poised to hit Cole with the title belt.

Unfortunately, Gargano had other plans.

He went up to the ring and snatched the title from Ciampa and then went on to hit the latter with the title, allowing the leader of The Undisputed Era to get the upper hand and eventually retain his title. It was a surprising turn of events, but it leads us to a bigger picture.

There is no way that Balor will let Gargano chase the NXT Title comfortably, especially when he has an important win against Johnny under his belt. Therefore, we might soon end up seeing the Prince being involved in the title picture alongside the likes of Ciampa, Gargano, and Cole.
