If Adam Cole’s NXT Title reign wasn’t already precarious with Tommaso Ciampa and Finn Bálor knocking on his doorstep, he now has to worry about a Limitless challenger as well.
Keith Lee made a massive statement at Cole’s expense, winning alongside Ciampa and Dominik Dijakovic in Six-Man Tag action against The Undisputed ERA — impressing his way straight into the NXT Championship scene.
With Bobby Fish sidelined due to injury, The Undisputed ERA had no numbers advantage to exploit, and may have been overwhelmed by the opposing trio as a result.
However, it was Bálor’s arrival that set chaos — and the contest’s conclusion — into motion. He suddenly appeared in the ring to deliver a John Woo dropkick to Cole, who crashed into and incapacitated the referee. NXT’s “Prince” was far from done, next spiking The Blackheart with the 1916 DDT.
Faced with Lee, Bálor had no answer for The Limitless Superstar’s power, and instead was laid out by a Spirit Bomb.
Cole had since recovered and looked to take advantage, surprising Lee with a superkick. It didn’t keep Lee at bay long enough to land The Last Shot, though. Lee countered Cole’s running knee into a massive jackhammer for the pinfall victory for his team.
NXT General Manager William Regal had seen enough from the top contenders for Cole’s title, taking the stage afterward to announce that Lee would face both Ciampa and Bálor next week in a Triple Threat Match, with the winner challenging for the NXT Championship in two weeks’ time.
