Complete WWE NXT TV Taping Results for Tonight *Spoilers*

By Nick Paglino

The next announced tapings are Feb 12th and 18th. Tickets for the Takeover live special and both tapings were made available for purchase by fans in attendance immediately after the taping. 

NXT #1 Contender’s Tournament Semi-Finals Match

Finn Bálor def Hideo Itami 

Bálor wins after hitting a dropkick that sends Itami’s head into the middle turnbuckle, followed by a top rope double stomp. Itami teased another GTS attempt during the match, then Balor counters that with an inverted DDT attempt before Itami blocks and Balor hits a Pele Kick. This was a really wesome sequence in a great match. 

After the Balor/Itami match,  both participants embraced in the ring and played it up for the crowd, then Adrian Neville (who was at commentary) walks over to the ramp, and shakes Balor’s hand.

(Safe to assume the Balor v Neville final is at the Takeover special).
