5 reasons why Finn Balor, Tommaso Ciampa, and Keith Lee will battle for a shot at the NXT Championship

#3 To ensure Finn Balor doesn’t jump the line

The Prince can't just have everything he wants

Before Finn Balor returned to NXT, there was no doubt in anyone’s mind that Tommaso Ciampa will be the first challenger to Adam Cole’s title once he returned from injury. Afterall, Ciampa never really lost his NXT Championship but had to relinquish it.

Ciampa returned to NXT the same night Balor returned, and things got complicated & interesting at the same time. The Prince of NXT is the longest-reigning NXT Champion of all time, and there is no doubt that he deserves to get back in the NXT Championship picture once again.

However, NXT is not the same as it used to be, as currently there are men such as Pete Dunne, Matt Riddle, Ciampa, Keith Lee, and Velveteen Dream who are as deserving of an NXT Championship shot as Balor is.

Therefore, to ensure that Balor does not jump the line, it makes perfect sense that William Regal wants him to earn his spot for the title. Balor has already defeated Ciampa, but not in a clean manner, and Lee is also on the rise and deserves a few title shots.

Therefore, a triple-threat match between these three men is the perfect way to give Adam Cole a deserving challenger.
