The WWE special NXT Takeover: Unstoppable emanates live on the WWE Network and features a main event between Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn for the NXT Championship.
The show begins with a No. 1 Contender's match between Finn Balor and Tyler Breeze. Remember this was supposed to be a Triple Threat match with Hideo Itami before he got injured. Balor defeats Breeze after he jumps off the rafters above the stage onto Breeze on the ramp. He then rolls him into the ring and hits the Coup de Grace for the win.
Charlotte and Bayley defeat Emma and Dana Brooke when Charlotte hits Emma with Natural Selection.
We get a recap of Zayn's injury and see him backstage as he psychs himself up in the mirror.
Baron Corbin defeats Rhyno when he counters a Gore attempt into a clothesline and then hits him with the End of Days.
We see a recap of Owens' encounter with John Cena on Monday Night Raw and then he says backstage that Sami Zayn should just stay home before he destroys him.
Wesley Blake and Buddy Murphy retain the NXT Tag Team Championships against Enzo Amore and Big Cass when Alexa Bliss interferes and attacks Carmella. She then pulls Enzo down off the top rope, which allows Blake to roll him up for the pin.
Sasha Banks retains the NXT Women's Championship by getting Becky Lynch to tap to the Bank Statement after a stellar match. Lynch even gets to walk out to her own music after Banks leaves.
Owens comes out for the match wearing John Cena's shirt, which is a nice touch. The match ends in a no contest. Zayn gets some offense in early, but Owens gets the upper hand and demolishes him with an apron powerbomb. He continues to abuse his former friend until William Regal comes out and demands that he stop. Owens obliges but then attacks and Regal intervenes. The champ responds by headbutting him out of the ring. He grabs the title and a chair and whacks Zayn in the shoulder.
Samoa Joe then makes his debut!!! He sprints into the ring and stands nose-to-nose with Owens. The champ backs off but Joe moves toward him again. Owens grabs his belt and leaves as he informs everyone that this is his house. Joe poses and the crowd cheers. Owens comes back out to tease a fight, but he retreats again and says he did what he needed to do.
