The biggest match of the night was saved for the main event of WWE NXT. Finn Balor looked to take out another challenger for his NXT Championship. While Adam Cole was determined to win the NXT title once again after betraying the Undisputed ERA.

Cole and Balor got down to business early. The Prince tried to take his opponent down with a dropkick. Cole countered by almost knocking Balor out with a Punt Kick on the ring apron.

The fight spilled over outside the ring where The Prince suplexed Cole on the ramp. The Panama City Playboy fought out of a 1916 attempt and stayed in the match. The Prince countered a Panama Sunrise attempt, but couldn't land the Coupe de Grace on Cole.

Later in the match, Balor tried to land the 1916 again, but Cole hit the Last Shot for a near fall. Balor kicked out of a Panama Sunrise soon after. The NXT Champion sent Cole outside the ring where Kyle O’Reilly showed up.

The distraction allowed Balor to hit the 1916 outside the ring and then a Coup de Grace in the ring to pick up the win. This was another top-quality match for The Prince who is now building his title reign very well. After a jaw injury early in his reign, Balor has recovered remarkably to stay on top in NXT.
