Bronson Reed came out to the middle this week to face the man who he’d challenged on last week’s NXT. Karrion Kross had accepted the challenge and vowed to teach Thicc Boy a lesson.

Reed tried his best to show that he has what it takes to become a top star by taking the fight to Kross. Kross took a few strikes from Reed before returning the favor to show that he was not intimidated.

Kross hit the 330-pounder with a Suplex but Reed hit a jumping enzuigiri to surprise everyone and keep the match at a balance. After Reed hit his own German Suplex on Kross, he realized that it did not affect the newcomer who got right back up and hit Reed with a few suplexes before locking him in the Kross Jacket to pick up the victory.

This was a good match and NXT did well to not keep it one-sided. Kross has now overcome a heavyweight early on in his NXT career, and it could be to show that the newcomer can take on Keith Lee in the weeks to come.
