Tonight’s episode of NXT opened with Karrion Kross taking down Danny Burch, but things swiftly turned chaotic, ending with a TakeOver title match and Keith Lee needing medical attention.
Following Kross’ victory over Burch, Keith Lee took to the ring as Kross was leaving. After saying that Kross was to blame for the chaos he left last week, Lee then presented Kross with an opportunity. In the ring, Lee had a contract that was already signed by both himself and William Regal for an NXT Championship match at NXT TakeOver: XXX, and he told Kross all he had to do was sign it. After dropping the contract, Scarlett grabbed the folder, bringing it back to Kross who quickly signed his name.
Scarlett then walked back to ringside, kissed the folder, and slid it towards Keith. Once Lee opened it, however, he was greeted with a shock, as a fireball shot up from the contract and into Lee’s face. Momentarily blinded, Lee had to be helped out of the ring and backstage as Kross looked on with a smile. While we wait for an update on how Lee is, WWE has confirmed that both he and Kross will take each other on NXT TakeOver: XXX for the NXT Championship.
