WWE NXT Review: Kevin Owens and Finn Balor Hype TakeOver
WWE.com
Final NXT Championship Match Hype
Kevin Owens walks out with a ladder to the ring in typical Kevin Owens form. He then sets it up in the ring.
Owens brings up TakeOver, drawing boos. He says before he goes on, he has to address the “Brooklyn Sucks” chants. He calls the fans hypocrites because week in, week out they chant for him, unless he’s attacking Sami Zayn. If someone mentions the name John Cena, they boo but if he talks about beating him, they cheer. He says it’s ironic because they’re the John Cena of wrestling fans. He says nothing genuine comes from the WWE NXT fans.
Owens brings up how the show sold out 13,000 seats and how fans love to see NXT grow but yet, the fans boo. He says he feels sick to his stomach because he’s performing for “ungrateful pieces of trash.”
Owens says he’s going to beat Finn Balor in the biggest main event in NXT’s history. He calls what happened in Japan a fluke. He says Balor shouldn’t have beat him and it won’t happen again. He says Balor has no idea what will coming and says he needs the NXT Title. He says he needs it so he can prove to the world that he’s better than Balor. Owens says TakeOver will be Destroy Owens Destroy and Climb Owens Climb. Owens says when he’s at the top of the ladder, Balor will be on the floor being ready to be wheeled out as he claims the NXT Title.
Balor’s Demon entrance then starts playing. He suddenly appears on the turnbuckle with an angry look.
The two then start brawling and trading punches. Balor knocks down Owens and charges at him with the ladder. Owens flees as Balor sets up the ladder and stands on top. Balor says at TakeOver he will beat him for the title and kick his “***” and shut his mouth.
