Karrion Kross is your new WWE NXT Champion.
Karrion Kross spent weeks telling Keith Lee that his time was almost up, and during NXT TakeOver: XXX he proved it. Kross defeated Lee in an epic match to become the newest NXT Champion, ushering in a new period for the company while showing that he can hang with the biggest and baddest that NXT has to offer.
In a match that saw two of NXT’s best giving it their all, both Lee and Kross survived multiple near-falls, including Lee being able to get out of the Kross Jacket and Kross surviving a Spirit Bomb. Things ended for Lee when he climbed to the top rope for a moonsault and allowed Kross to get up with him. Too worn out to do much, Kross was able to land the Doomsday Saito off the second rope, ending things for good and allowing him to pin Lee for the win.
This is Kross’ first title reign in NXT as he just debuted back in early May. Lee won the title from Adam Cole back on the July 8 NXT TV episode. This was his second title defense.
