NXT Takeover: Dallas results: Finn Balor vs Samoa Joe video highlights
A look at the results from the NXT Takeover: Dallas match between Finn Balor and Samoa Joe.
The main event of NXT TakeOver: Dallas saw Finn Balor and Samoa Joe go head to head. This was a rematch from NXT TakeOver: London when Balor defeated Joe in a great contest.
The Samoan Submission Machine would get the chance to face the NXT Champion again for the belt when he defeated Sami Zayn in a 2-out-of-3 Falls match a few weeks ago. So could he defeat Balor in his second opportunity on Friday?
Before the main event, this guy showed up.

This match was a war in the beginning. Balor and Joe threw a bunch of right hands and the latter was even busted open. So what did Joe do? He tossed Balor over the barricade and into a security guard.

How about those apron kicks from Balor? They were needed to wake up the crowd which was in and out with all the blood stoppages by the referees.

Later on, Joe would hit the Muscle Buster. That would seemingly be enough to win, but Balor kicked out to continue the match!

This was a very good match that lost its rhythm at times due to the blood stoppages, but got much better as things carried on.
