Samoa Joe defeated NXT Champion Finn Balor tonight in Lowell, MA to become the new NXT Champion.
Multiple fans in attendance noted that Balor looked to roll his ankle, came back up and was clearly hurt. The referee threw up a double “X” and this led to Joe winning the title a minute later, as seen below.
PWP will have more on this story as it develops.
