WWE Worlds Collide 2020 Results: New champion crowned; Terrifying injury alters the main event 

It looks like the main roster will have a lot to live up to at the Royal Rumble because they'll have to follow some of the greatest wrestling that we'll get in 2020. On the pre-show, Kay Lee Ray defeated Mia Yim, putting NXT UK ahead at 1-0.

In what many would consider a dream match, our main event features the two most dominant factions in both NXT and NXT UK. The Undisputed Era and Imperium are set to clash in a climactic eight-man tag team match. Every match on this card is to prove which brand is truly superior. NXT knocked off both SmackDown and Raw at Survivor Series, but their reign may be short-lived.

We kicked off the night with what most would more than likely perceive as the match of the night. "The Prinxe" Finn Balor against Ilja Dragunov.

Finn Balor vs Ilja Dragunov

The former Universal Champion brought the young up-and-comer to the mat, but Dragunov was able to trade control, leading to a stalemate early on. Dragunov eventually drew first blood with a running crossbody.

After being taunted, Balor sent Dragunov to the floor and followed up with a dropkick through the ropes. Back on the inside, though a Walter-esque chop and a senton nearly earned Dragunov a shocking win.

Balor's patented enziguri on the apron was countered with a clothesline, and he was met by a springboard crossbody on the outside. However, another dive from Dragunov was avoided, allowing Balor a chance to breathe.

Inside the ring, a snapmare/dropkick combination left Dragunov dazed. Balor struggled to keep his opponent on the mat, doing his best to quell any chances to build momentum for Dragunov. Balor stomped a hole into the chest of Dragunov, nearly getting himself disqualified. The 1916 was reversed, as Dragunov took Balor over with a suplex before building up steam with a series of running and rolling clotheslines.

A brutal rising knee to the jaw almost ended Balor's night, but he was able to kick out just in the nick of time. Balor reversed a Death Valley Driver, sending Dragunov into the mat and hitting a jumping double stomp. He shook it off, leading to a striking trade between both men.

Dragunov avoided the 1916 but was hit with the reverse DDT. A slingblade connected. Dragunov countered the shotgun dropkick, though, with another jumping knee to the jaw. A high-angle teardrop suplex earned him a two-count.

After hitting the "61-line," Dragunov hit a coast to coast on Balor, who was draped on the bottom ropes. The senton from the top, though, was blocked with Balor's knees. After the Coup de Grace, Dragunov was sent back to the locker room with the 1916.

Results: Finn Balor defeated Ilja Dragunov via pinfall.

Cathy Kelly was at ringside with the two tag teams who've advanced to the finals of the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic, the Grizzled Young Vets and the Broserweights. With some breaking news, Kelly revealed that the winning team would go onto NXT: Portland for a shot at the Undisputed Era's NXT Tag Team Titles.

Zach Gibson said that, individually, Pete Dunne and Matt Riddle are at the top. However, as a tag team, their resume leaves a lot to be desired. Matt Riddle responded by saying everyone should be excited and happy because of Kelly's announcement. He's smiling, and he knew that his "Bro from another Mo" was smiling ear to ear. When he looked beside him...Pete wasn't smiling. Riddle assured this was his happy face, though.

Dunne followed up, promising that Riddle would smoke the competition and the Grizzled Young Vets' dreams would come to a Bitter End.

Next up was the NXT Cruiserweight Championship match. Angel Garza would defend his title against three of the best cruiserweights in the world.

Trent Seven and Tommaso Ciampa circled one another before Seven showed Ciampa how to twirl a proper moustache. Ciampa responded by simply flexing some muscles that Seven doesn't exactly carry.

Both men looked for a DDT early, leading to a roll-up from Seven which nearly ended the match early. Bate then tagged in, leading to a flex off between the Psycho Killer and the Big Strong Boi. A test of strength saw Ciampa get taken overhead by the inaugural UK Champion.

O'Reilly managed to get to Roderick Strong, tagging in the former North American Champion. A backbreaker/elbow drop combination hurt Barthel, but a few throat chops sent Strong into Imperium's corner. Alexander Wolfe was in next, but Strong was easily able to bring him to his side of the ring.

Bobby Fish tagged in, and the Era dropped Wolfe with a double front suplex, which saw Wolfe land flat on his face. A kick from Fish seemingly gave Wolfe a concussion, forcing the ref to momentarily stop the match so he could be assisted to the back by the medical staff.

With that, Adam Cole and Walter came in. Cole avoided chops and used Fish to distract the UK Champion. In UE's corner, Walter was hammered by several opponents. However, when Roderick Strong tagged in, a massive big boot turned everything around in Imperium's favor.

O'Reilly was able to escape and tag in Strong, who took on all three members of Imperium.

Cole's Ushigoroshi connected, but a massive boot to the back of the head from Walter broke the pin.

With Aichner and Barthel out, it left Walter in a four-on-one situation. The Era jumped him, taking him to the floor in hopes of driving him through a table. Walter nearly sent O'Reilly through with a powerbomb, but Cole took out his leg.
