“Then… Now… Forever.”

A highlight reel runs from last week’s Worlds Collide/Royal Rumble go-home episode of NXT. We get hyped for the finals of the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic as The Grizzled Young Veterans face the Bro-serweights, Pete Dunne and Matt Riddle.

We are joined by Mauro Rinallo, Nigel McGuinness and a very somber Beth Phoenix as she scolds the actions of Randy Orton on her husband, Edge, on last Monday’s “Raw”. The music hits and Finn Balor is making his way to the ring. Earlier this afternoon, he viciously attacked Trent Seven in the parking lot, which has brought us to this match. Trent makes his way down the ramp, showing a nasty bruise on his left cheek. Footage of the attack graces us before the match gets underway.

Finn Balor v. Trent Seven

Trent, in the middle of his ring entrance about to roll under the bottom rope into the ring, is met with a baseball slide dropkick from Balor before the bell rings. Trent gingerly makes his way into the ring, the bell sounds and Balor bumrushes Seven in the corner. Raining down stomps left and right throughout the ring is Balor. Seven rolls to the outside and Balor meets him there with another dropkick through the ropes. After a few forearms, Balor brings Seven back into the ring and wears him down with a chinlock.

Seven begins to fight back but a double-leg takedown and a stomp to the chest halts that. A cover, a kickout at 2. Balor continues to stomp down. A quick bodyslam, elbow off the ropes to follow, a cover…. kickout at 2. Balor brings Seven back to his feet… small package by Seven! 1… 2… kick out! Balor leans off the ropes, Sling Blade. Balor pours on the stomps and kicks as we go to commercial.

Adam Cole makes his way to the stage. “Who the hell… you think just because you got injured we’re supposed to feel sorry for you?! Who the hell do you think you are?!”

“Who the hell do I think I am?! I’m the guy that never lost that NXT Title! I’m Goldy’s Daddy! I’m going to tell you what’s going to happen tonight! You’re gonna walk your ass down that aisle.
