WWE NXT has a new champion. Keith Lee defeated Roderick Strong to be crowned the NXT North American Champion. This would be Keith Lee’s first title win on any WWE brand. The wrestler won a shot at the title by winning a fatal 4-way match on NXT two weeks ago. At the time, he defeated Dominik Dijakovic, Cameron Grimes and Damian Priest to challenge the North American Champion Roderick Strong. Last week, The Undisputed ERA had attacked Keith Lee to intimidate him.

He used a Big Bang Catastrophe to take down Strong and win the championship.
