It was another stellar night at the office for Keith Lee on Sunday evening as he successfully retained his NXT North American Championship with a big win over Johnny Gargano.

It was a pretty surprising result for many fans to digest, mainly because Johnny Wrestling has only recently turned heel alongside his wife Candice LeRae.

Either way, Lee was happy with the win – and he was also happy with what happened in the main event.

As we look ahead to the future, there is every chance that Lee is going to be the man who challenges Adam Cole for the NXT Championship next.

Where that puts him in regards to the North American Championship remains to be seen, but there is clearly nobody hotter outside of Cole in NXT right now.

Whether NXT pulls the trigger on giving him the big belt, though, remains to be seen.
