Lexis King, who recently made his debut in WWE’s NXT, has broken his silence after his controversial interjection into an important match on the November 21 episode of NXT.

The match in question saw Josh Briggs take on former NXT Champion Carmelo Hayes in singles action, with the winner earning the third slot in the men’s Iron Survivor Challenge at NXT Deadline on December 10.

In a surprising turn of events, Briggs pulled off the victory over Hayes, thanks in part to outside interference from Lexis King, who distracted Hayes at a critical moment in the match.

Following the match, King took to Twitter to congratulate Briggs on his win, stating, “Congratulations to Josh Briggs on an outstanding victory! I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I really do bring out the best in everyone at #WWENXT.”
