This week’s episode of WWE NXT kicked off with Karrion Kross beating Danny Burch.
After the match, Keith Lee walked out to the ring with a contract in his hand as Kross and Scarlett left the ring. Scarlette walked back to grab he contract for Kross to sign and then put it back in the ring.
As Lee picked it up, a fireball lit up and burned Lee in the face. Trainers swarmed the ring to check on Lee and the segment ended with Lee in extreme pain as he made his way to the backstage area.
Lee will defend the NXT Championship against Kross at TakeOver: XXX on the night before SummerSlam.
