New Match Announced For NXT TakeOver XXX Main Card, Updated Card
August 20, 2020A new match has been added to Saturday’s NXT TakeOver.
Last night n NXT we saw Finn Balor take on The Velveteen Dream for the final spot in the North American Title Ladder Match at NXT TakeOver XXX. The match last night saw Dream pick up the victory and that was because Timothy Thatcher attacked Balor at the end of the match.
Now WWE has announced that Finn Balor will get some revenge when he takes on Timothy Thatcher Saturday night at NXT TakeOver.
When you come at The Prince, you’d best not miss, and Timothy Thatcher may learn that the hard way.
As ordered by NXT General Manager William Regal, Finn Bálor will take on Thatcher at NXT TakeOver XXX in a what figures to be a heated bout after Thatcher cost The Prince a chance to become North American Champion.
But in Thatcher’s mind, Bálor already cost him as well. The pugnacious technician had The Prince locked in an Achilles hold last month in a Triple Threat Match to qualify for the North American Title Ladder Match. However, with Thatcher preoccupied, Dexter Lumis applied Silence for a victory over Thatcher by technical submission.
Bálor had one more chance to qualify when he took on The Velveteen Dream this past Wednesday, but Thatcher intervened to ensure he wouldn’t.
The Prince had been laser-focused in recent weeks on seizing the one accolade missing from his NXT resume: the North American Title. What price might Thatcher pay for ruining Bálor’s plans?
JUST ANNOUNCED: @FinnBalor will go one-on-one with Timothy Thatcher THIS SATURDAY at #NXTTakeOver XXX! #WWENXT @WWENetwork https://t.co/fVhiP4Wojl
