Bengaluru, July 9: Keith Lee has now become the WWE NXT Champion and the NXT North American Champion ending the historic NXT Title reign of Adam Cole.
Night 2 of NXT Great American Bash and Fyter Fest ran simultaneously, last night keeping the competitive spirit high between WWE and AEW on Wednesday (July 8) night.
In the main event of the Great American Bash, the biggest match in NXT history took place, when NXT Champion Adam Cole and NXT North American Champion Keith Lee collided in a “Winner Take All – Title For Title” match. Lee ended up defeating Adam Cole to become a dual champion, which is a first-ever accolade on the NXT brand.
This is the first reign for Keith Lee with the NXT Championship. Cole won the title back on June 1, 2019, at the "Takeover: XXV" event by defeating Johnny Gargano, and kept the belt intact for 403 days. In the meantime, Lee has been North American Champion since defeating Roderick Strong on January 22 of 2020 during a regular NXT TV episode.
