Keith Lee is still the NXT North American Champion after defeating Damien Priest in the main event of this week's USA Network episode.

The Archer of Infamy had been seizing every opportunity to attack Lee in the buildup to this match, attempting to wear him down enough to gain an advantage when they finally faced off in the ring. Last week, he took a baton to Keith's throat, but even that wasn't enough to slow his Limitless opponent down.

Priest did come close to winning the title on a couple of occasions, even managing to get the big man up for his Broken Arrow. Frustration eventually got the better of him, though, and he grabbed the baton behind the ref's back, once again trying to injure Lee's throat. His strike was blocked, and Lee dropped Priest with two huge powerbombs to retain the gold.

It was always unlikely that Priest was going to win this one, as The Limitless One is reportedly set for a long title reign. At this point he has pretty much run through the entire NXT roster (more than once), so some new challengers would be nice. What did you guys think of this match? Let us know in the usual place.
