NXT North American Champion Roderick Strong faced Isaiah "Swerve" Scott in singles action this week. The former Killshot hadn't gotten many opportunities until now, and this was probably the biggest match in his short WWE career.

Roderick Strong is one of the best wrestlers of his generation, and therefore, putting him against Scott was a smart choice. It gave fans a good idea of what Scott was capable of inside the ring.

Stylistically speaking, he is very agile, athletic, and as intense as it gets. His offense is quite unorthodox as well, and that only plays to his advantage since it is difficult to stand out in today's roster. Of course, this match wasn't as simple as Superstar vs. Superstar. Strong's companions in the Undisputed Era weren't far away from his side; indeed, their interference worked as Scott got distracted and lost the match.

Win or lose, Scott showed fans a glimpse of his ability and this could ultimately propel him into the Cruiserweight championship picture soon. With more time and opportunities, Scott could easily become a cornerstone of the show and relied upon for great matches. Therefore, fans can expect to see him more often in the future.
