#2 The WWE NXT Championship Iron Man Match

The final match of the night was set for a 60-minute time limit as Tommaso Ciampa, Finn Balor, Adam Cole, and Johnny Gargano squared off in an Iron Man Match for the WWE NXT Championship.

No one took control of the match for too long as all four former NXT Champions tried to gain control. The action never slowed down as four of the men who’ve built NXT delivered one of the best matches we’ve seen on television this year.

After 25 minutes, Balor managed to get the first pinfall by executing the Coup De Grace on Cole. Next, Ciampa caught The Prince with the Fairytale Ending, but Gargano quickly stole the pinfall from his former partner.

"The Panama City Playboy" hit the Panama Sunrise on "The Rebel Heart" to take a pinfall for himself, ensuring that everyone stayed in the match for as long as possible.

Balor scored another pinfall by delivering the Coup De Grace to Ciampa, taking the lead with two pinfalls. While it seemed like The Prince would rule WWE NXT again, Cole fittingly took The Last Shot and picked up the final pinfall to tie with Balor before the time ran out.

This was a good match that lit up NXT and showed what the brand is capable of. Often we forget just how good the top Superstars of the brand are. This match showed that all four have the talent and stamina to go on for an hour.
