The North American Championship changed hands in the main event of NXT.
Bronson Reed first captured the North American Title in May. On tonight’s NXT, he agreed to defend his title against Hit Row’s Isaiah “Swerve” Scott. As the match went on, both A.J. Francis and Ashante Thee Adonis got involved at various points and the conclusion of the bout saw Francis attempt to tackle Reed into the barricade.
Reed was able to evade but as he climbed back in the ring, he was met with a kick from Isaiah Scott that was followed up by a 450 splash and then a new North American Champion was crowned.
