At the event, Finn Balor unleashed his Demon persona on Owens. The two faced off in a match that received praise from both fans and critics. During the match, Owens mocked John Cena, who he recently started a rivalry with, using his signature moves such as the Five Knuckle Shuffle.
Balor was able to hit Owens with the Coup de Grace twice and he eventually emerged as the winner, becoming the NXT Champion for the first time. Finn Balor became one of the longest-reigning NXT Champions of all-time, holding the title for 292 days.
