Finn Balor has been looking to teach NXT United Kingdom Champion WALTER a lesson for some time now, and had it not been for the current pandemic, Balor would have brought the giant to his knees.

This week, Fabian Aichner stepped up to Balor as a member of Imperium to serve his leader. Aichner did a much better job than Alexander Wolfe did a few weeks ago and took Balor to his limits. However, The Prince is not one to stay down for long and fell for a corner dropkick, followed by the Coup de Grace and 1916 DDT for the victory.

This has allowed Balor to pick up two victories over two Imperium members, similar to what The Velveteen Dream has done over the members of Undisputed Era.

Later in the night, Velveteen Dream came out to show his disappointment at NXT Champion Adam Cole not appearing at the show again, and called him the best NXT Champion of all time.

This brought out Balor - who was arguably the best NXT Champion and had set the record for the longest reign before Cole recently broke it - to reply to His Purple Highness.

Balor challenge Dream to a match next week, which will possibly serve as a No.1 contender’s match to the NXT Championship. Dream accepted the challenge and set up one of the biggest NXT matches of the year.

This one could turn out to be the biggest match of Dream’s career!
