Keith Lee recently became the NXT Champion and NXT North American Champion by defeating Adam Cole in the historic “Winner Takes All” match, last month. He is the only dual champion in the history of WWE NXT who achieved the feat during The Great American Bash Night Two’s Main Event.
The Ladder Match at WWE NXT “Takeover: XXX” for the now vacant NXT North American Title will feature 5 Superstars. One of the qualifiers on the latest NXT episode witnessed Bronson Reed win a Triple Threat to qualify to get the first spot into that Ladder Match at Takeover.
He defeated the other two competitors, Johnny Gargano and Roderick Strong. Next week’s Triple Threat Match will see Finn Balor, Dexter Lumis, and Timothy Thatcher competing for the second Ladder Match spot. Two more Triple Threats should go down, but there’s no confirmation yet on the participants.
The official logo of the WWE NXT Takeover: XXX has also been revealed. The event will take place on Saturday, August 22 from the NXT Arena on the campus of Full Sail University in Winter Park, Florida. It should be noted that the 30th Takeover event will be a historic and monumental night.
