The reign of Keith Lee as NXT North American Champion began on tonight’s edition of NXT as he defeated Roderick Strong in the main event of the show. Undisputed ERA’s Kyle O’Reilly and Bobby Fish lost in the semi-finals of the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic and it was up to Roddy Strong to score a victory for Undisputed ERA. Despite the outside interference, Keith Lee was able to prevail and hit his Jackhammer signature move to pin Roderick Strong and become the sixth NXT North American Champion and the third African-American to hold the belt.
And that, boys and girls, is… #LIMITLESS.
