New WWE NXT North American Champion Crowned, Big NXT Underground Match Set, Jordynne Grace vs. Roxanne Perez Booked
Shawn Spears won his first WWE singles championship on this week’s episode of WWE NXT, defeating Tony D’Angelo to claim the NXT North American Title.
Although D’Angelo fought hard, his recent back issues ultimately led to his downfall. The match saw interference from both factions, with Spears’ team and D’Angelo’s family getting involved in a brawl. The turning point came when D’Angelo was accidentally knocked onto a steel chair, injuring his back further.
Despite attempting to fight on, his back gave out during a Spinebuster attempt, allowing Spears to secure the victory.
