Keith Lee Retains Title, Will Face Adam Cole For Both Belts

Keith Lee, Finn Balor, and Johnny Gargano met in the ring tonight to see who would move on as NXT North American Champion and face off against Adam Cole for a chance to unify the belts. Despite the odds being stacked against him, Lee came away with the win, retaining his belt and moving on to a match with Cole in two weeks.

Things ended for Balor and Gargano when Lee was able to overcome both of their tries to take him down.

After landing a Big Bang Catastrophe on Gargano and going for the pin, Lee smartly rolled away as Balor landed a Coup de Grâce onto Gargano.
