NXT Cruiserweight Championship Match: Oney Lorcan vs Kushida (c)
Oney Lorcan took the fight to Kushida early on, but in no time was locked in a cross armbreaker. He made it to the ropes but was sent to the floor by the champion as we cut to commercial.
During the break, Lorcan took over with a series of stiff strikes, in classic Oney fashion.
However, some palm strikes to the jaw dazed the Boston Bruiser. Lorcan lifted himself up on the ropes but Kushida dropped his knee onto the extremity, setting up for that Hoverboard Lock.
Lorcan responded with his running uppercut and a running blockbuster, nearly getting the upset win. Kushida just kicked out at two.
The Champ went back to the injured arm, and after a series of kicks and the Hoverboard lock, Lorcan was forced to submit
Result: Kushida defeated Oney Lorcan via submission on NXT.
Grade: B
After the match, Santos Escobar appeared on the stage. Legado del Fantasma jumped Kushida from behind, and the former NXT Cruiserweight Champion continued to guide the beatdown.
That is until NXT Tag Champions MSK made the save, helping Kushida send LDF to the ramp.
