#3. Single's match: Finn Balor vs Matt Riddle

Can Matt Riddle prove Finn Balor wrong tonight?

Ever since his return to NXT, Finn Balor has taken the pro-wrestling world by storm. He turned heel and attacked Johnny Gargano which saw the latter being side-lined due to neck-injury. But that was not enough to stop the former NXT Champion.

He took the ring to mock the likes of Gargano and Matt Riddle and taunted them by saying that they can’t take the beating. Following that, he was attacked by Riddle and they continued to brawl on several occasions.

Riddle was earlier a part of Tommaso Ciampa’s team that would face The Undisputed Era in WarGames. However, his feud with Finn Balor will now see him take on the latter tonight at the PPV.

Both Balor and Riddle are exceptionally talented Superstars. Their match has the potential to be the best bout of the night despite two WarGames matches on the card. It would be interesting to see how Riddle will tackle Balor who is determined to prove that the current NXT roster takes everything for granted.
