The first match of the night put Finn Balor and Adam Cole in the spotlight, and the match more than lived up to the hype. Balor and Cole pulled out all the stops, and at one point it looked as if Balor would end up becoming the new NXT Champion, but unfortunately for him, the match was interrupted by a familiar face. Shocking everyone on the entrance ramp was Johnny Wrestling himself Johnny Gargano, who came out and distracted Balor long enough for Cole to seal the deal, but Gargano wasn't done.

Gargano came out to make a statement, and he definitely did.
