Bengaluru, August 13: WWE NXT Championship is now official for the NXT "Takeover: XXX" event where the reigning champion Keith Lee defends against Karrion Kross.
As seen on last night's NXT, the episode opened with Karrion defeating Danny Burch in a singles competition. Once the match was over, Lee appeared in the ring with the championship match contract for their Takeover match. He cut an aggressive promo on Kross, who was listening to it at ringside with girlfriend Scarlett.
Lee then dropped the contract to the floor allowing Kross to put his signature on it. Scarlett then kissed the contract and slid it back to the ring.
Lee picked it up and opened only to receive a fireball blowing up in his face. Lee was immediately checked by medics and referees as Kross and Scarlett smirked from the ramp. The NXT Champion was then taken into a medical facility through an ambulance.
