Timothy Thatcher and Finn Balor are going to go one-on-one at NXT TakeOver XXX.
After Timothy Thatcher cost Finn Balor a spot in the NXT North American Championship Ladder Match, both men are set to go one-on-one during SummerSlam 2020 weekend.
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 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?
WrestleZone will have live coverage of TakeOver XXX beginning this Saturday at 6:30 p.m. Eastern.
