Finn Balor Reportedly Ended NXT Title Match Too Early At NXT Takeover 31
Finn Balor and Kyle O’Reilly had a brutal match up at NXT Takeover 31. Balor successfully retained his NXT Title but both superstars walked out with injuries during the match.
On the latest edition of Wrestling Observer Live, Bryan Alvarez revealed that Finn Balor had made a call to end the match earlier than it’s actually finish.
Speculation is that there are few more moves before going for Coupe de Grace to end the match. But Finn went off the script and ended the match few minutes earlier.
“It appeared that he called for the match to go home early. If you watched the match and didn’t know about the injuries, the finish quite frankly did just come out of nowhere. They were doing the match. Everything was going along great, and all of a sudden Finn Balor starts going up to the top rope, and at that exact moment my stream froze, and I was irritated because I thought, well, clearly they are going a little bit longer here. It makes no sense to jump off right now and ping the guy. But when my stream back on, he was standing there with the bell. So, they went home a little bit early; I don’t know how early, but that’s what happened last night.”
