In regards to WWE NXT Champion Finn Balor coming to the main roster, he could be called up by the end of the year but there are still short-term plans for him to be the face of NXT, according to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Live today.
There is still talk of having Samoa Joe defeat Balor for the NXT Title at NXT Takeover: Dallas, but that is not a lock.
We noted before that there has been talk of bringing Joe to the main roster, possibly as soon as the post-WrestleMania RAW, but a title win would extend the Balor vs. Joe feud and keep Joe in NXT for a little while longer.

There was a scary moment at Thursday night’s WWE NXT live event in Jacksonville, FL. Wrestling Inc. correspondent Travis Akers noted that during a 6-man tag match between Dawson, Dash & Riddick Moss vs Sami Zayn, Enzo & Cass, Riddick was injured during a 6-man suplex. Riddick immediately went unconscious and the ref gave the “X”, as seen in the video below.
In a very scary moment, he did not respond for over a minute. Paramedics arrived and assisted Riddick out of the ring and to the back after he regained consciousness.
Akers asked Cass about Riddick after the show, who said Riddick hit hard and it was bad. As seen in the photo below, officials helped take Riddick out of the building.

* NXT Women’s Title: Bayley (c) vs. Carmella
* Baron Corbin vs. Johnny Gargano
* Cameron vs. Alexa Bliss
* Elias Samson vs. Jesse Sorensen

NXT star Bull Dempsey announced this morning on Twitter that he’s left the WWE. He thanked Triple H for the opportunity and said he hopes he sees him down the road.
In addition to Bull Dempsey, it appears that both Marcus Louis and Sylvester LeFort are gone from NXT as well. The two weren’t on TV much following the split of their tag team, The Legionnaires. but briefly feuded with Enzo and Cass on NXT TV during their run.
