Karrion Kross defeated Keith Lee to become the new NXT Champion at TakeOver: XXX.
The match was hard-hitting, but a little slow for the most part, with both powerhouses trading back and forth offense. Things did pick up towards the end, but the finish has come in for a lot of backlash.
Kross hit Lee with a Doomsday Saito Suplex from the top rope and... that was it. Pinned him clean in the middle.
The lack of buildup may have something to do with Kross sustaining a shoulder injury during the match, and words were exchanged between both men while they were perched on the turnbuckle, so it's entirely possible that this wasn't the way the finish was originally planned out.
Whatever the case may be, we have a new NXT Champion - although there are concerns that he may have to relinquish the title if his injury turns out to be serious.
What did you guys make of this outcome? Should Lee have had a longer reign as champ? Do you feel NXT booked themselves into a corner by having Kross challenge for the title so soon? Drop us a comment in the usual place.
