According to Wrestlingheadlines.com, while the WWE is billing Brock Lesnar vs. Kofi Kingston and the NXT Championship bout pitting Kevin Owens against Finn Balor as the main events, they may not actually go on last.
Lesnar is the key draw to the event, hence the title, but his clash with Kingston is expected to be a squash match, so it's unlikely that it will close out the show.
