WWE NXT TakeOver: 31 - 5 potential finishes to Finn Balor vs. Kyle O’Reilly

#3 The Undisputed ERA’s distraction costs Kyle O’Reilly at NXT TakeOver: 31

On the go-home episode before NXT TakeOver: 31, Shawn Michaels hosted Finn Balor and Kyle O’Reilly for a face-to-face. Both men showed some respect to each other, but Balor mocked KOR when he asked him if his Undisputed ERA friends would help him win the match and the NXT Championship. KOR told The Prince of NXT that he is more than capable of finishing the job himself.

However, Adam Cole, Roderick Strong, and Bobby Fish will be looking to do whatever they can to ensure that their friend becomes the new Champion at NXT TakeOver: 31.

During the match at NXT TakeOver: 31, we could see the two men slug it out before the remaining members of the Undisputed ERA make their way out to the middle to help KOR.

O’Reilly could then get distracted as he would not want any help to win the match, which could provide an opening for Balor to connect with his finisher and pick up the victory.

Not only would this allow Balor to retain the title while protecting O’Reilly, but it could also mark the beginning of the end for Undisputed ERA.

The faction has been phenomenal over the past three years, but NXT needs to look at the different routes they can take with the members of the faction to keep the storylines fresh and interesting.
