The “WWE NXT” episode from Tuesday was concluded with a “NXT” North American Championship match between the champion, Dominik Mysterio, and the challenger, Dragon Lee, whom Dominik had previously characterized as a “wannabe Rey Mysterio.” After their heated exchange at the Great American Bash, Lee declared that Dominik’s father, Rey Mysterio, will support him in their title showdown this week. Rhea Ripley, a fellow member of Judgement Day, was with Dominik as usual.
Lee put forth a valiant effort against Dominik, but his title pursuit was ultimately thwarted by the interference of Ripley. As Lee and Dominik lay in the center of the ring, Ripley slid over the North American title belt. While Rey quickly spotted and seized the belt, the move set up an opportunity for Ripley to strike Lee with her WWE Women’s World Championship as the referee’s back was turned. Dragon Lee put up a valiant fight against a competitive Dominik Mysterio and came close to winning with a powerbomb. With Lee now temporarily incapacitated, Dominik nailed him with a Michinoku Driver to gain the pinfall and retain his “NXT” North American Championship.
After that, Ripley confronted Rey Mysterio until The Eradicator was expelled by Lyra Valkyria. Dirty Dom has been working extra hard for WWE lately, and it’s paying off. With each important match, he becomes better. While the challenger provided assistance, Dominik appeared more like a true champion than he has in the past.
