NXT Champion Finn Balor kicked off tonight’s episode of NXT. Joining Balor in the ring was Kyle O’Reilly, Damian Priest and Pete Dunne who stuck their claim to an NXT Title match. Balor left the ring as the three men began belittling one another. Balor was met on stage by Scarlett who Balor informed that whenever Karrion Kross is ready, so is he. Balor will be defending the NXT Championship at New Year’s Evil on 1/6.

During a video package which recapped the action of the women’s WarGames match at TakeOver, Dakota Kai stated that she will not be seen for a while because of the damage caused during the match.

Malcolm Bivens appeared on NXT programming and attempted to recruit new signee Tyler Rust, formerly Rust Taylor. Earlier this year, Bivens was managing the duo known as Indus Sher (Rinku & Saurav).
