Although WWE is known to book a lot of rematches on television, there are instances of the rare first-time-ever match being booked and one recently took place at a house show.
WWE held an NXT live event on Saturday night from Melbourne, FL where a first-time ever match happened between two top stars as Dragon Lee challenged NXT Champion Carmelo Hayes for the title.
Hayes went over Lee in the main event of the show that also featured the return of an injured star. For more on that, click here.
