Finn Balor starts tonight's show in his first appearance since losing the NXT Championship to Samoa Joe. The crowd chants "Thank you, Finn," but Finn says he should be thanking them. He says his matches with Samoa Joe in London and Dallas could have went either way, but he won. As soon as he says that their match in Lowell, Massachusetts could have went either way, "The Drifter" Elias Samson shows up and sings a song about Finn. Finn responds with a Pele Kick that knocks Samson out of the ring, then he tosses the guitar at Samson on his way out.
Last week, Cathy Kelley interviewed Eric Young. He says there's no doubt in his mind that the best are in NXT and the WWE Universe, and that he's ready to prove he belongs. He says we're looking at a world-class champion, a world-class athlete, and a world-class maniac.

Austin Aries is talking with NXT General Manager William Regal, saying he wants to prove he's not just good, he's great. Blake and Murphy barge in, saying they're tired of being disrespected while asking for a tag team title shot. Austin Aries calls them the pot calling the kettle black due to their barging into Regal's office, and Alexa Bliss shows up after Aries namedrops her while saying they didn't have the decency to bring her into the room with them. Regal then makes a match next week between Blake and Murphy and the team of Austin Aries and a tag team partner of his choice.

Cathy Kelley interviews Bayley when Nia Jax shows up and makes fun of her Women's Championship loss to Asuka, and that when they get in the ring again, she won't be as lucky as she was the first time. Bayley tells Nia Jax that she choked her out once and she can choke her out again.

Finn Balor beats "The Drifter" Elias Samson with a move now known as "1916." After the match, Finn Balor admits Samoa Joe beat him for the NXT Championship and that he wants his rematch for the title. He is obsessed with NXT and the NXT Championship, but now he is possessed, and he's ready to take the NXT title back. Samoa Joe shows up talking trash to Finn, but NXT General Manager William Regal rushes into the ring and makes the rematch official for NXT TakeOver on June 8th before the two can fight. Samoa Joe is livid, saying that he went through hell to get the title and that Finn Balor doesn't deserve another shot. Finn answers by hitting Joe with a dive over the top rope.
