The NXT Champion in action; Title match delayed after a nasty attack

This war between The Era, Finn Balor, One-Two, and Pete Dunne has been gruesome

Finn Balor and Kyle O'Reilly vs One-Two on NXT

NXT Champion Finn Balor took Oney Lorcan down immediately, going after the left arm of the Boston Butcher. Next up were Kyle O'Reilly and Danny Burch, with the Guvnor of NXT struggling early against The Undisputed Era's top striker.

Burch went after O'Reilly's injured jaw, however, allowing him to take O'Reilly to the corner of the NXT Tag Champs. One-Two swapped in and out, rocking his jaw with uppercuts and synching in tight headlocks, putting as much pressure on that injury as possible.

O'Reilly was able to escape a slam and tag out to Balor, with the NXT Champion and his heated rival getting the best of Lorcan and Burch before the final break of the night.

Balor took on One-Two in a two-on-one brawl and was doing well until he was driven to the corner. Neither Lorcan nor Burch could handle The Prine of NXT by themselves, but he was unable to get back to his corner with both men tearing into him.

Burch and Lorcan pelted Balor with heavy chops and uppercuts, with any one of them looking like knockout blows. Balor refused to quit. After several minutes of punishment, Balor fought out of the corner of the NXT Tag Team Champions. A slingblade took Lorcan down, and O'Reilly finally made it back in.

Burch did as well, leading to O'Reilly decimating the champs with a series of kicks. Burch's arm was snapped, and though he rocked O'Reilly with a few jaw shots, O'Reilly shook it off. As Burch lept off Bret's Rope for the missile dropkick, O'Reilly caught him out of mid-air for a heel hook.

Burch quickly tapped out.

Results: Kyle O'Reilly and Finn Balor defeated One-Two via submission.

Grade: A+

After the match, Pete Dunne appeared, and he was joined by the NXT Tag Champions in attacking O'Reilly and Balor.The message was sent. The Undisputed Era ran in for the save, but they weren't in time to save Balor's hand from being broken by the Bruiserweight.
