Samoa Joe Became The New NXT Champion In Lowell MA

Samoa Joe just defeated Finn Balor in Lowell, MA to capture the WWE NXT championship, catching Balor (who was on the top rope) and nailing him with the muscle buster and pinning him clean.

WWE cameras were on hand to film the title change. There were plan for Joe to win the WWE NXT Championship at the London Takeover event but they were pushed back.

The title change would pave the way for WWE to bring Balor up to the main roster to join Karl Anderson & Luke Gallows, if that is the direction they wish to go in with the former Bullet Club members.
