Isaiah Scott turned out to be the man to dethrone Bronson Reed as the WWE NXT North American Champion.
It happened on Tuesday’s episode of NXT TV on the USA Network from Orlando, Florida at the Capitol Wrestling Center. Scott challenged Reed for the strap in the main event.
After Reed dominated early, Scott took over until the end. There was some outside interference as Reed tossed Top Dolla through the barricade. Once he got back into the ring, he ate a big boot then Scott hit a 450 splash off the top rope for the win.
This marks the first title reign for Scott since he joined NXT.
Reed became the North American Champion when he defeated Johnny Gargano in a steel cage match over a month ago. Reed’s previous title defense came when he teamed up with NXT Tag Team Champions MSK (Wes Lee & Nash Carter) to retain their titles by beating Legado del Fantasma (Santos Escobar, Raul Mendoza & Joaquin Wilde) at the WWE NXT TakeOver: In Your House event earlier this month.
In recent weeks, Reed has been working dark matches on the main roster at Raw and SmackDown TV events just like NXT Champion Karrion Kross.
WWE officials are having these stars do tryouts to see if they want to call them up for the Draft later this summer.
