When it comes to delivering at TakeOver, NXT’s biggest stage, there is no one on Finn Bálor’s level. The Prince has the most victories in TakeOver history, and added to his illustrious record with a grueling win over Timothy Thatcher at TakeOver XXX.

After Thatcher cost him a chance to compete for the NXT North American Title tonight Finn Bálor went right after the grappler at the bell. The Prince showed he was willing to trade holds with the ruthless mat master, even gaining the upper hand on the creator of Thatch-as-Thatch-Can Wrestling.

But eventually, Thatcher would turn the tables on Bálor, manipulating joints and contorting The Prince’s body into painful positions. Bálor would endure and fight through the pain, eventually getting his rival into position for the Coup de Grace. Thatcher would evade, leaving The Prince to come crashing down on his leg, giving Thatcher a clear target to go to work on.

Thatcher did just that, nearly forcing Bálor to submit, but The Prince fought through the pain, finally connecting with the Coup de Grace and spiking Thatcher with the 1916 DDT to get the three count and pick up his 12thTakeOver victory.
