The North American Championship was on the line in the main event of last night’s NXT.
Keith Lee overcame Damian Priest’s attack from last week and successfully defended his North American title against Priest last night. After the angle where he hit Lee in the throat with a nightstick last week, Priest again tried to use the weapon. But Lee blocked a nightstick shot, gave the weapon to the referee, and hit two Spirit Bombs to win the match.
NXT also set the stage for a loaded episode next Wednesday. Adam Cole will defend his NXT Championship against Velveteen Dream, Io Shirai will challenge for Charlotte Flair’s NXT Women’s Championship, Johnny Gargano will take on Dominik Dijakovic, Karrion Kross and Scarlett are set to officially arrive, and Finn Balor will call out the person who attacked him last week.
