10 Awesome Moments From WWE NXT TakeOver: London

3. Finn Balor's Jack Ripper Entrance

Finn Balor is no stranger to theatrics. The very nature of his entire entrance demands that things be as dramatic as possible, setting the scene for his amazing pro wrestling ability. In London, Balor brought something new to the party, using a UK-theme to his arrival which set him apart. In the lead up to NXT TakeOver: London, a shadowy figure was shown in match graphics and promotional materials for the event. The character was clearly supposed to be the mythical 'Jack The Ripper'. The infamous, unidentified serial killer is part of London's history, his legend growing due to the fact the murderer was never named. It turns out the figure used in those graphics was actually Balor himself. This was a nice touch, and served to enhance the show. Mixing WWE-style production with excellent pro wrestling is a winning combination, and that proved to be the case here. The NXT Heavyweight Champion provided a moment to remember the show by outside of the ring, which is really incredible considering how awesome things were once the bell started ringing.
