WWE NXT Results (6/3): Finn Balor vs. Rhyno, Adam Rose Returns, Tyler Breeze in Action, Carmella vs. Alexa Bliss & More

THE VAUDEVILLIANS vs. MARCUS LOUIS & JASON JORDON

The Villians control Louis early on, who’s apparently become a crazy person. Jordon tags in and takes over Aiden English with a few suplexes and a modified chin lock. Louis comes in and stretches Aiden’s face, screaming at him like a madman. Simon Gotch makes the hot tag, the two clean house and hit the Whirling Dervish on Louis for the win. 

WINNERS: THE VAUDEVILLIANS

Louis is now inexplicably a crazy person, flexing his jaw like a caveman with rabies, wearing…black jeans. I’m not properly explaining how little sense his new “character” makes. Remember the walkers from Will Smith’s “I Am Legend”? Think that, without a backstory. I don’t know either. 

-Finn Balor talks about returning to Japan to face Kevin Owens for the NXT title. He says he won 11 championships in Japan, and that it has become his adopted home over the years, and that he’s beyond excited to beat Owens in Japan. 

FINN BALOR vs. RHYNO

Finn has some luck with kicks and high flying moves early, but ultimately falls to the size and strength of the ECW original. Rhyno controls for several minutes, working rest holds and using power moves like shoulder tackles. Balor catches him with an enzuigiri on the top rope, knocking him to the floor, and following up with a suicida to take them both out. When they come back from break, Rhyno has somehow gotten back in control. He keeps the pace of the match down, working more rest holds and beating down Finn with powerslams and clotheslines whenever he builds up any momentum. Balor with a kick in the corner and a flying forearm to mount his comeback, but he runs into a big spinebuster for two. Big Pele Kick out of nowhere, followed by the Slingblade from Finn. Hesitation dropkick into the corner, but he misses the double foot stomp. Rhyno sets up for the Gore, Balor side-steps the move and rolls him up for the three-count. 

WINNER: FINN BALOR

-Balor celebrates with the fans, then heads up the ramp to do his pose, but Rhyno comes out of nowhere with a massive running Gore to take Finn about 10 feet across the stage. Medics tend to him as the show goes off the air.
