NXT UK TakeOver: Blackpool - Every Match Ranked From Worst To Best
3. Finn Bálor Vs. Jordan Devlin
Result: Bálor puts Devlin away with the Coup De Grâce (11:45).
Rating: Was this a neat surprise or what? Though the master vs. pupil battle was missing that little something extra to make it a truly star-making match for Devlin, it was still a solid contest that made Devlin look like a genuine competitor against his far more experienced rival.
In addition to their mind-boggling physical resemblance to one another, their styles were also extremely complimentary even if the match layout was ultimately rather ordinary.
Devlin looked strong in defeat and Bálor's sheer presence alone was a bold endorsement for the NXT UK brand. 7/10
