Drew McIntyre vs Roderick Strong (for the NXT Championship)

A great way to end the show

The main-event was up next and it didn’t disappoint. McIntyre had the clear power advantage as the match began, taking Roddy down a number of times. Roddy is on the receiving end till the first break in the action.

When we came back from commercial, Roddy was finally mounting some offense. McIntyre was soon back in, his size advantage clearly playing a big part in the match. He took Strong down for a 1-count.

The action soon spilled to ringside as Strong hit a thunderous backbreaker on the steel steps. Strong followed it up with another backbreaker inside the ring before going for the cover and getting a nearfall. Following a brief resurgence from McIntyre, Strong countered a dropkick to take McIntyre down again and then looks for a Fireman’s Carry.

McIntyre finally turned the tables and hit a big boot before following it up with an Alabama Slam. McIntyre follows it up by catching Roddy and hitting a Spinebuster. The two continue to go back and forth and Roddy manages to barely reach the ropes on tie, including a Celtic Cross.

We then headed to ringside for the final segment as McItyre powerbombed Strong into the ringpost. He then tolled Strong back into the ring and waited to set up the Claymore Kick. One kick later, McIntyre had retained his title.
