#9 NXT Championship: Bobby Roode (c) vs. Drew McIntyre (NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn III)
While this match was good, it definitely felt like it shouldn't have main evented this show. The Roode-McIntyre feud felt a bit rushed, and the action didn't compare to some of the other matches on the night. The match is also remembered more for the debut of Adam Cole and the Undisputed Era afterwards than any of the action that took place in the ring.
Despite these negatives, it started off strong with great entrances for both competitors. The character work done by both was excellent as well, with McIntyre looking the completely confident challenger getting under the skin of the wily champion. That was the story throughout the match, as Roode avoided McIntyre's power as much as possible and used his cunning to gain advantages.
As the match wound down, the two exchanged some big moves - the Future Shock DDT, a powerbomb from the top rope, a Claymore kick, a flip to the outside from McIntyre, a spinebuster, two Glorious DDTs. Nothing worked. Eventually, McIntyre hit a second Claymore and got the pin to win the title.
Adam Cole would then make his infamous NXT debut and ruin the celebration.
