Finn Balor will put his NXT Championship on the line against Samoa Joe at TakeOver: London.

The Irishman's impending title defence was announced on the latest edition of WWE NXT, meaning Joe will not get the opportunity he has been craving in the English capital on December 16.

Joe ruthlessly attacked Balor, the man he won the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic with, after believing the Wicklow wrestler had reneged on handing him a title tilt.

But Balor's desire to fight the Submission Specialist led to the NXT hierarchy making a mouth-watering championship match on an episode where titles were a running theme.

Bayley bested Alexa Bliss with a slap and a Bayley-to-Belly suplex to retain the NXT Women's Championship - before learning she would defend her strap against Eva Marie next week.

NXT Tag Team Champions Dash and Dawson will also bid to keep hold of their belts on Wednesday when they combat former champions The Vaudevillains and warmed up for that clash by knocking off Corey Hollis and John Skyler.

Elsewhere, Jason Jordan and Chad Gable overcame The Ascension on the latter's return to Full Sail University, while Nia Jax decimated Carmella with a leg drop and Emma conquered Mary Kate with the Emma Lock.
