Regal announced a first time-ever four-way ironman match which included four former NXT champions – Adam Cole, Johnny Gargano, Finn Balor, and Tomasso Ciampa.
The match was one of the best in NXT history. Ciampa looked game and was firing on all cylinders as the match started.

Adam Cole tried to play it smart and make a deal with Finn Balor to have an ally. Unfortunatley, Balor didn’t fall for it and attacked him. The ‘Prince’ attacked Cole and delivered the Coup de grâce and pinned him to win the first fall.

Cole was NXT champion for a historic 403 days until his loss to Keith Lee at NXT: The Great American Bash. Finn Balor is the best NXT champion among the rest. The ‘Prince’ was NXT Champion for 292 days.

This is a difficult one to predict as Adam Cole and Finn Balor are both top-class performers. However, my vote would go for Finn Balor.
Finn Balor needs this Championship a little more. Since his return to NXT, Balor hasn’t been in any intense rivalry or good storyline. This win could revive his career again.

As for Adam Cole, the only reason he isn’t seen as the choice to win this contest is Pat McAfee. Triple H has confessed in many interviews that Pat McAfee’s NXT run was not a one-off thing. Hence, Pat McAfee’s interference is a huge possibility.
