<p>The latest edition of NXT stands as one of the finest shows that WWE has ever produced in television history &#8211; the 2-hour USA Network programme witnessed the enigmatic return of two iconic former NXT Champions, <strong>Finn Balor</strong> and <strong>Tommaso Ciampa</strong>.</p>



<p>Reigning NXT Champion <strong>Adam Cole</strong> opened the show with a successful title defends against <strong>Matt Riddle</strong>. No sooner had Cole begun celebrating, than he was interrupted by the returning Balor. <br></p>



<p>The crowd went bananas and out came the inaugural Universal Champion, absorbing the energy and setting the Full Sail University on fire.</p>

<p>Balor stepped in the ring, stood face to face with Cole who was in pure shock, and made a huge announcement: “Finn Balor is NXT!”<br></p>

<p>Later in the main event, <strong>Bobby Fish &amp; Kyle O&#8217;Reilly</strong> put the NXT Tag Team Titles on the line against <strong>The Street Profits</strong>. As expected, the heels emerged victorious and it was a stellar night for <strong>Undisputed Era</strong>. Cole walked out to celebrate with his stablemates.</p>



<p>The celebration was cut short and the crowd went nuts as Ciampa walked out to his music. <br></p>



<p>After stalking Cole with his eyes firmly fixed on Goldie, Ciampa looked him in the eye as NXT went off the air.</p>



<p>On <a href="http://f4wonline.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="Wrestling Observer Radio (opens in a new tab)">Wrestling Observer Radio</a>, Dave Meltzer talked about Balor’s current status &#8211; the longest reigning NXT Champion is not on the main roster, rather he will be a constant part of the yellow-and-black brand from hereon.</p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"><p>“So <strong>Balor’s</strong> there so it’s like he’s not gonna be on RAW or SmackDown. I don’t think they’re gonna change his contract and lower it, so I’m sure he is [making great money]. So here’s the other thing too, it’s like he’s gonna be working a way easier schedule for the same money so for him, f*ck yeah.”</p></blockquote>



<p>At this point, it’s safe to predict that Cole, Balor and Ciampa will be having a triangle storyline for the NXT Championship in the days to come. <br></p>



<p>Given there’s only 6 months left for TakeOver during WrestleMania 36 weekend, WWE can execute a slow and intense build to what could be the finest title feuds in NXT history.</p>
