Daddy's home, and he's ready to get Goldy back!

NXT TakeOver: WarGames featured an absolutely brutal No.1 contender's match for Adam Cole's NXT Championship. Pete Dunne defeated both Killian Dain and Damien Priest to advance to Survivor Series the next night. Priest was reportedly injured in the match, fracturing a couple of his ribs. Next week, he'll take on Dain in a one-on-one match.

Tommaso Ciampa vs Finn Balor

Balor managed to get the better of Ciampa early, but Ciampa broke away and managed to turn it into a brawl. Punches, kicks to the gut and a running forearm set up for a suplex.

Balor attempted a kick to Ciampa's face on the outside. Ciampa caught it and brought him in for an Air Raid Crash. Balor escaped, nearly sending Ciampa into the ring post. Ciampa blocked, taking Balor down and slingshotting him face-first into the steel.

Balor was hammered by the Blackhearted One on the outside but caught Ciampa rolling back inside, kicking the middle rope. Ciampa was left on the mat as Balor stomped him out and trapped him in a rear chin lock. In the corner, he was stomped deep into the bottom turnbuckle and hit with a delayed dropkick.

Ciampa kicked out at two. Balor moved to the apron but was nearly knocked off with a clothesline. A running knee sent him crashing into the barricade. Back inside, a second running knee strike caught Balor in the back of the head. A third knee strike was countered with a sling blade.

Balor knocked Ciampa to the floor with a running dropkick. A shotgun dropkick on the outside drove Ciampa into the barricade. Just like all those weeks ago, Balor tried to plant Ciampa with a 1916 on the ramp. Unlike Gargano, though, Ciampa was able to block, turning it into an Air Raid Crash.

Balor made it back inside at nine but ran into a knee face first. Project Ciampa earned the Psycho Killer a near fall. Balor responded with a double foot stomp to the sternum and a shotgun dropkick, bouncing him off the corner. He moved up for the Coup de Grace. Ciampa rushed him and took him down with a second rope Air Raid Crash. Balor kicked out at two.

Ciampa screamed that this was for "Johnny Boy" before setting up for the Fairy Tale Ending. Before he could connect, Adam Cole rushed the ring. Ciampa fought him off as Balor stole the NXT Championship.

Ciampa avoided a shot with the belt, but was spiked on it with a reverse DDT. He kicked out and pulled himself up on the ropes where Cole delivered an enziguri. The 1916 put him away for good.

Balor and Cole stood in the middle of the ring, and it looked as if they were going to finally join forces. However, it was all a ruse, as Balor rocked the NXT Champion with a pele kick. Balor left the ring as both Cole and Ciampa were left out cold to close the night.
