This weeks NXT started off very hot with the biggest star on the brand defending his championship. Keith Lee has been a dominant NXT North American Championship, and on this night he would face a very motivated Cameron Grimes, who was looking for the biggest win of his NXT career. Grimes got the shot by defeating Dominic Dijakovic two weeks back, with the help of Damien Priest.
Keith Lee Retains His North American Championship
The match starts off slow with Grimes trying to pick away at his much bigger opponent, but Lee is able to swat him away with a single stiff strike. Grimes would then roll to the outside, where once Lee followed he would attempt a dive off the apron. This would result in him being nearly caught with a powerbomb, but he would manage to escape. Grimes would flee back into the ring, and attempt another dive for the same result. Lee would finally just sweep Grimes legs to take him down, and would get him into position for a superplex. With some quick thinking and a kick to the head, Grimes regained control, and would maintain it though the commercial break.
Lee wouldn’t stay in defense mode for long, rallying back with big strikes. Grimes hit a massive German Suplex on Lee for a near fall, showing his freakish strength. Thinking that was enough to soften him up for his deadly running stomp, Grimes went for it only to be caught in position for the Big Bang Catastrophe, which would net Keith Lee the win. It was a fantastic match, and another star making performance for Cameron Grimes.
Damien Priest Takes A Cheap Shot At Keith Lee
Following a hard fought match, the night would continue for Keith Lee. As he celebrated his victory, Damien Priest rushed in with a nightstick, attacking Lee from behind. Dominic Dijakovic would come down and fight off Priest before helping Lee up. Due to not seeing who attacked him, Lee assumed it was Dijakovic, and hit him with a huge powerbomb. This misunderstanding will only add to to the feud between these two titans, and with Priest involved we could see a huge triple threat at Takeover Tampa.
