Karrion Kross defeated Finn Balor to win the WWE NXT Championship at TakeOver: Stand & Deliver. Kross first won the title from Keith Lee last year but was forced to relinquish it due to an injury.

This time, Kross is looking to have a dominant reign as the NXT Champion that could see him become a top name. He has already defeated The Prince once and will be looking to take him down again for the title.

While Kross has the momentum going into the match, one must not forget that Balor is a former Universal Champion. The Prince is one of the best wrestlers in the world today, and he can easily take down Kross on his day.

Keeping that in mind, fans can expect an even better match between the two men on NXT this week after their encounter at TakeOver: Stand & Deliver. However, WWE must allow The Herald of Doomsday to take down Balor once again to retain the title.

A victory over Balor has already helped Kross get over and further cement him as the new face of NXT.
