#2 Challenge made

Much like Johnny Gargano, Roderick Strong has also been an underdog of sorts. While much of the NXT Universe is behind him, he always falls short on the big stage. This time, he has a target in his crosshair. And his next target is a beast.

Roderick Strong picked up a comprehensive win over Fabian Aichner from the Cruiserweight Classic tournament, this week on NXT. He would go on to make a challenge. And when he did, the whole world was shocked.

Roderick Strong made a challenge to Lars Sullivan, a beast of a man who's taken NXT by storm. When these two men do come to blows, we're certain the impact will be felt around the world.
