NXT’s comeback from Los Lotharios didn’t go the way they planned as NXT Heritage Cup Champion Nathan Frazer and Dragon Lee emerged victorious.

A pair of great pinfalls from Garza and Carrillo was followed by a stunning powerbomb from Lee, but all four superstars refused to give up as the match went on.

With the NXT Universe going into a frenzy, Frazier took out both members of Los Lotharios and threw Garza back into the ring where Lee hit him with a twisting neck chop to get the win.

Judgment Day continues to dominate WWE as “Dirty” Dominic Mysterio taps out Wes Lee to become the new NXT North American Champion.

Lee proved he had the heart of a champion and after a great diving attack on the outside, it looked like he was ready to retain his title, but Finn Balor and Damien Priest interfered allowing Ripley to pin Lee with her title, allowing Mysterio to cover for him and become the North American Champion.
