Main Event For 8/22 WWE NXT Takeover

Courtesy of WWE.com:
NXT Champion Finn Bálor vs. Kevin Owens
A huge main event has been confirmed for NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn, as newly crowned NXT Champion Finn Bálor will defend his title against former champion Kevin Owens at the Barclays Center on Saturday, Aug. 22 as part of a special that will be broadcast live on the award-winning WWE Network.
The rematch was announced by NXT General Manager William Regal at San Diego Comic-Con International, where both Bálor and Owens took part in a packed panel presented by Mattel, featuring the unveiling of both Superstars' first WWE action figures.
The announcement comes hot on the heels of Bálor's stunning championship victory in Tokyo. Just days after becoming the first competitor to pin Owens inside an NXT ring, Bálor returned to Japan, the country where he first made a name for himself as a competitor, donning his demonic war paint as he charged into battle against the brutish Owens. While Owens sought to slow down his otherworldly opposition, Bálor withstood Owens' onslaught and crushed him with the Coup de Grace to become the NXT Champion.
Since the Tokyo throwdown, Owens has turned his attention to capturing John Cena's United States Championship, but don't think for a moment that the bruiser won't relish the opportunity to reclaim the title that propelled him to Superstardom and embarrass Bálor in the process.
Will Finn Bálor prove that his victory in Tokyo wasn't a fluke, or will Owens send The Demon back to the netherworlds and reassert his dominance over NXT? Find out at NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn on Saturday, Aug. 22! Tickets will be available for this monumental event starting Saturday, July 18 at 12 p.m. ET. If you can't make it to Brooklyn, don't worry, as the event will be broadcast live on the award-winning WWE Network!
