Result: Black retains the title after nailing Sullivan with the Black Mass several times (14:07).

Rating: Not a classic NXT Title match by any means, but it basically delivered on expectations, with Sullivan playing the big-man part superbly while Black once again convinced as the tenacious, unstoppable champ.

Like almost the entire card there wasn't much to be surprised by, but the pacing was great, it was hard-hitting and the selling throughout was terrific (especially from Black).

That final moment made Sullivan look like an absolute monster even in defeat, so both men managed to come out of this looking fantastic even if it wasn't all that memorable as a title match. 7/10
