“Gentlemen, based on that display, the situation between the two of you is out of control, and I won’t allow it to continue. This rivalry will come to an end. I have amended the contract, and we will have a definitive conclusion on June 8 at TakeOver.

The addition of the cage was necessitated by the pull-apart brawl which took place between Joe and Balor on an NXT house show in Portland, Oregon on May 14, highlights of which were also screened on NXT.
Having headlined the previous two TakeOver specials, Joe and Balor needed something extra to distinguish their June 8 collision from the bouts in London and Dallas.
