Tonight’s episode of NXT features a huge championship match, as Keith Lee will defend the NXT North American title against Dominick Dijakovic and Damian Priest.
Since defeating Roderick Strong for the title back in January, Lee has welcomed and defeated all challengers that’s come his way, whether it was his back-and-forth athletic showcase against Dominick Dijakovic to his technical contest against the crafty Cameron Grimes, the NXT North American Champion always came out on top. However, the 35-year-old will face the toughest challenge of his title reign thus far as he’ll battle two big men who know Lee very well.
Will Lee overcome the odds and retain the NXT North American Championship? Or Will Dominick Dijakovic or Damian Priest put an end to Lee’s title reign?
Also, six women will get one more opportunity to enter the No. 1 contender’s women’s ladder match next week as Dakota Kai, Shotzi Blackheart, Deonna Purrazzo, Xia Li, Kayden Carter, and Aliyah will fight in a Gauntlet match to determine the final entrant for next week’s No. 1 contender’s match.
