Match

Balor and Aichner jostled for position in the early moments of the match until Aichner lifted Balor up into the air and tossed him across the ring. Barthel hopped up on the apron distracting Balor and allowing Aichner to jump his opponent. Balor quickly took the advantage back hitting a sling blade and tossing Aichner to the outside as NXT went to a commercial.

Back from commercial, Aichner got a short burst of offense at times utilizing the distraction from Marcel Barthel. Aichner attempted to hit a running knee strike against the stairs, but Balor evaded, hit Barthel with a sling blade and a missile dropkick into the barricade.

Back in the ring, Aichner missed a moonsault. Balor followed up with a dropkick, coup de gras, and the 1916 DDT. Balor secured the pinfall victory.
