Lexis King is the brand new possessor of the NXT Heritage Cup, although not with out controversy, after defeating Charlie Dempsey Tuesday night time.
William Regal tried to get King to make the most of his trademark brass knuckles however the de facto babyface’s reluctance earned him a tough proper hand to the face from the long run Corridor of Famer.
Within the course of, these knuckles flew into the ring, garnering the eye of the referee, who thought Dempsey used them. He referred to as for the bell, awarding King the autumn, match, and cup by way of disqualification. King celebrated, kissing the cup whereas Regal appeared on, mildly amused.
King lucking his manner right into a championship is on level for the character so from a artistic standpoint, the reserving right here made sense. The match itself was a bit extra irritating as Dempsey labored a limb for a serious portion of the match, just for King to disregard it and mount his comeback. It took the viewer out of the story and consequently, the match limped to a end.
