Ilja Dragunov sent a message to Finn Balor, saying that he's invincible, and at Worlds Collide, he will not miss. Finn Balor entered the arena, looking to send his own message with his opponent Joaquin Wilde.
Balor was quick to drive Wilde into the mat, slamming him down and shoving his boot into Wilde's face and chest with repeated stomps.
Wilde received a vicious standing dropkick, setting up for the shotgun dropkick in the corner. Wilde was launched into the turnbuckle, bouncing off into the middle of the ring. Balor then connected with the Coup de Grace before planting him with 1916.
Results: Finn Balor defeated Joaquin Wilde via pinfall.

At Worlds Collide, Balor faces Dragunov. At NXT TakeOver: Portland, he finally takes on Johnny Gargano. If all goes according to plan, Balor could catapult himself to a title opportunity by Wrestlemania weekend.
Cathy Kelly interviewed Shayna Baszler backstage after her return to the brand last week. Baszler said that Shotzi didn't kick start her career when she eliminated her. She dug herself an early grave. Tonight is the start of the path that leads the Queen of Spades back to the title, where she'll become "Shayna 3-time."
