It's possible that this NXT Championship match won't feature any interference. Balor and O'Reilly could have a clean contest. Balor has only defended his title once, so his reign has been fairly forgettable. But with another decisive defense, he could look like a strong champion.

"The Prince" has had a positive influence in WWE NXT, and his star power has helped the brand rise to a higher level. As a result, the creative team could prefer to keep the title on him and give Balor some major rivalries. That way, the company could make the NXT Championship look even more prestigious.

At NXT New Year’s Evil, fans could end up watching Balor and O'Reilly steal the show before the champion defeats O'Reilly again. "The Prince" is one of the brightest stars in NXT, and the company could look to benefit from his presence on the show for at least a few more months.

O’Reilly has already earned a lot of respect due to his recent performances, and even with a loss, he could stay in the championship picture for the months to come.
