Finn Balor made a surprise appearance at tonight's NXT UK TakeOver: Blackpool from the United Kingdom. 

Balor was over to help launch the new WWE International Performance Center and the company decided to book him for an unannounced match. 

It all went down with Jordan Devil jumped Travis Banks before the bell rang, hoping he wouldn't have to compete. NXT UK General Manager Johnny Saint came out and announced he had a plan B and Balor then made his surprise entrance.

The match had some significance as Balor trained Devlin and the crowd was really into the match which Balor won with a clean pinfall.
