Dexter Lumis has been one of the top superstars on WWE NXT for some time. The superstar has a unique character and his in-ring work has improved a lot since he first came to WWE.

Over the past several weeks, Lumis has been in a rivalry with members of The Way. The Tortured Artist has continued to stalk NXT North American Champion Johnny Gargano and even defeated Austin Theory on a couple of occasions.

Lumis also defeated Gargano in a singles match back in February but never got an NXT North American Championship shot after that. Lumis still has a connection with The Way, and the superstar has developed a special interest in Indi Hartwell.

Bronson Reed, meanwhile, has found himself in a rivalry with Gargano and will likely defeat Theory to get another shot at the title. Since Lumis is already part of a rivalry with The Way, why isn’t WWE allowing him to get his hands on the NXT North American title?

At this point, it looks like WWE is just trying to give Johnny Wrestling a longer title reign after he’s enjoyed a few short ones. Is that why Lumis is being kept away from Gargano and his title? Or is there something else in the works for The Tortured Artist?
