A huge title match has been confirmed for WWE NXT Takeover: XXX. Keith Lee’s first PPV title defence will take place on August 22nd against Karrion Kross.

The show kicked-off with Karrion Kross in singles action. He would take on Danny Burch to open the show.

A charged-up Burch looked on his game tonight as he started the match in dominant fashion. However, Kross would make quick work of the British Athlete.

Seconds after the match ended, Keith walked to the ring with a contract in his hand. Lee explained that he begged GM William Regal to let him defend the title against Karrion Kross at NXT TakeOver: XXX. The limitless man also promised that he will not touch Kross until the PPV.

Lee would give the contract to Scarlett who would then present it to Kross to sign. Kross would sign and then Scarlett kissed it before sliding it back to Lee.

The NXT champion would then open the contract to see the signature. However, he would be surprised as he was hit with a fireball that came out of the folder i.e. a magic kiss from Scarlett.
