Think something just changed with the storyline and Balor recently for that to happen?
I'd say there are three possibilities.
1. They wanted Balor to leave NXT looking strong, and so they had him drop the title on an untelevised house show rather than a high-profile PPV like Takeover Dallas.
2. Balor got hurt and they called an audible mid-match.
3. They weren't originally planning to call him up as of Takeover, but recently changed their minds.
