5 potential finishes for Finn Balor vs Matt Riddle at NXT Takeover: WarGames

#3 Finn Balor uses a low blow to pick up a win

Finn Balor may use conventional heel tactics

Finn Balor’s heel turn has had the fans invested for weeks now. Every Wednesday night, the former NXT Champion pulls off a trick to take the pro-wrestling business by surprise. This match has the potential to add more to Balor’s heel turn and here’s how it can happen.

Throughout the build-up for this match, Balor has claimed that he is the best in this business and has mocked the entire NXT roster for their lack of caliber. His opponent, Matt Riddle, could not take the insult and stepped up for a fight.

Look who just shut down all of Tony Khan's critics! More HERE.

Riddle is a brilliant choice to be Balor’s opponent as he is exceptionally talented inside the ring. He can definitely put up an impeccable fight against Balor and even turn the odds in his favor. A desperate Balor will then use a low blow to take down Riddle and pin him for a much-needed victory.

This move will facilitate their rivalry going forward and also establish Balor as an intense heel who can go to any length to prove his credentials. He could even cheat his way to the win, convincing the fans about his changed attitude towards the entire business.
