Adam Cole and Roderick Strong accompanied Kyle O’Reilly to the ring for his match against Pete Dunne on WWE NXT. Likewise, Oney Lorcan and Danny Burch came out with "The Bruiserweight" for the match.

Killian Dain attacked Lorcan and Burch early on, and The Undisputed ERA helped him take them down. Dunne and O’Reilly still put on a terrific match in the ring despite all these distractions.

The two men took each other to the limits, and fans once again got to see why O’Reilly deserves to become the NXT Champion in the future. He gave Finn Balor one of the best matches of his career, and he looked to do the same against the former NXT United Kingdom Champion.

Dunne focused on his opponent’s joints, while O’Reilly took him down with some excellent technical strikes. In the end, O’Reilly caught "The Bruiserweight" in the ropes and hit a diving knee to pick up the victory.

Simply put, @TripleH said it best:"Unbelievable match. From start to finish @KORCombat and @PeteDunneYxB tore the house down. Ready to see #BalorOReilly2 for the #NXTTItle at #NXTNYE ... THIS IS #WWENXT!!!! #WeAreNXT" pic.twitter.com/kAQHkF9fg3

The Undisputed ERA member will now have his second shot at Balor, and he will look to dethrone "The Prince" at NXT New Year’s Evil. This match between O'Reilly and Dunne fantastic, and both men threw everything they had into showing exactly what the NXT Championship means to them.
