At the April 28 2016 NXT Taping, the next NXT Takeover main event was revealed. Finn Balor is using his re-match clause to challenge Samoa Joe for the NXT Championship. If you haven’t heard by now, Samoa Joe defeated Finn Balor at an NXT live event a couple days ago to win the NXT Championship. This had many fans speculating that Balor could be on his way up to the main roster. While this doesn’t confirm that Balor won’t be making the jump anytime soon, it does let us know that Balor will atleast be staying with NXT in a limited capacity until NXT Takeover June 8 2016.
This will be the third straight time Balor and Samoa Joe have met in the NXT takeover main event. Finn Balor won both matches prior at both NXT Takeover London and NXT Takeover Dallas. Hearing that this third match could have some sort of stipulation added. We will update on this story when we know more!
Here is some tweets from fans in attendance confirming Samoa Joe vs Finn Balor 3:

Let us know your thoughts about a Balor and Samoa Joe re-match in the comment section! I would have to think they will add some sort of stipulation for this one. A steel cage would be great in my opinion because we have already seen them square off in 2 singles matches already. Can’t wait to see how this develops! Let us know your immediate thoughts on the re-match!
