The “WWE NXT” programme from this week saw Dominik Mysterio winning his initial WWE singles championship. To win the “NXT” North American Championship, Mysterio defeated Wes Lee. The Judgement Day companions of the “Raw” Superstar helped him obtain the pin. Damian Priest attempted to strike Lee with his own championship belt, but Lee deflected it. Rhea Ripley ultimately struck Lee with the Women’s World Championship. Finn Balor had been the referee’s main distraction. They all rejoice with the new “NXT” North American Champion after Mysterio’s victory.

The Highlights 

Rhea Ripley, who defeated Wes Lee to win the Women’s World Championship, did so as Finn Bálor and Damian Priest served as a distraction. In order to capture the NXT North American Championship, Dominik Mysterio covered him. Mysterio is at a point in his ring career where repetitions like this will help him. For the first ten minutes, he kept this going more slowly than was necessary, but once Lee started making his comeback, the action really picked up. This clearly fell short of Lee’s customary caliber as a champion.

This was a challenging way for Lee to end a successful reign in which he set every milestone possible for an NXT North American champion. The champion, who was absolutely outperforming Dirty Dom before The Judgement Day took it, was undoubtedly protected, nevertheless. Come the Great American Bash, Mustafa Ali will be in a difficult situation as a result. What adjustments will the PLE make to the title match? A genuinely unexpected outcome leaves many questions unresolved.
