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.
"Technically, you're still #NXTChampion, but come on, man? You spent the last two months eating your food out of a straw."
