10 Best WWE Matches Outside Of The United States

9. Kevin Owens Vs. Finn Balor - The Beast In The East

Though we're not including NXT or NXT: UK shows on this countdown, we can get away with an NXT Title match on an overseas WWE supershow. 

WWE ventured to Japan's Sumo Hall on the Fourth of July 2015 to put on The Beast in the East, a card that was promoted on the back of Brock Lesnar's first match in Japan for eight years (against the luckless Kofi Kingston). 

A really good outing was provided by Neville and Chris Jericho's show opener, but the true highlight of the night was Kevin Owens defending the NXT Title against Finn Balor. 

Balor was firmly the favourite, with the fans in attendance well aware of his work with New Japan Pro Wrestling, where he wrestled for the best part of a decade as Prince Devitt. 

The Irish Ace came out for the occasion in full Demon regalia and he and Owens were showered with streamers before the opening bell. Owens, ever the heel, trashed a ceremonial bouquet of flowers as the action prepared to get underway. 

They went at it hard and heavy from the off, brawling around the ringside area and really laying in their strikes. 

By the end of the bout, the two had just about exhausted their arsenals (with Owens also nicking several of John Cena's signature moves, as the two were feuding at the time) and there were plenty of close nearfalls in the closing stretch. 

Balor dug deep, however, weathering the storm before putting The Prizefighter away with the Coup de Grace to become NXT Champion for the first time. 

In a neat post-match scene, he was presented with the title by Japanese wrestling legend and WWE Hall of Famer Tatsumi Fujinami.
