After Velveteen Dream returned to WWE NXT last week and turned heel following his Triple Threat Match against Cameron Grimes and KUSHIDA, he had a second chance against Finn Balor.

Both men looked to secure the final spot in the NXT North American Championship Ladder Match at NXT TakeOver XXX. There was no telling who had the upper hand heading into the contest.

While Balor had control, Grimes arrived to taunt both the men and distracted them for a while. The distraction allowed Dream to superplex Balor off the top rope to take advantage.

Johnny Gargano walked out to tip Grimes off the ladder and chaos ensued. Balor and Dream took out Grimes while Bronson Reed and Damian Priest arrived to lay out Gargano. Priest then turned his attention to the "Thicc Boi" and took him out with a big kick.

During the chaos, Timothy Thatcher slipped in and attacked Balor, allowing Dream to hit a Death Valley Driver followed by the Purple Rainmaker to pick up the victory.

After the match, AusZilla took out everyone and stood tall with the NXT North American Championship.

This was a good match that allowed all the Superstars booked for Saturday’s match to get involved. Having Thatcher attack Balor was a good move as it protects the bigger Superstar and allows him to build towards his next rivalry. As for Dream, he needs to do something big to become a crowd-favorite once again.
