KUSHIDA shocked the WWE Universe by pinning Santos Escobar for the NXT Cruiserweight Championship on April 13. This was Escobar’s first title defense since unifying the Cruiserweight Championships at TakeOver: Stand & Deliver.

KUSHIDA had to wait a long time to get his hands on a title in WWE. Now that he has the Cruiserweight title in his hand, it looks like NXT creative will allow him to have a decent run with it.

Escobar has gotten himself a rematch for the title for next week’s show. The 2-out-of-3 falls match will likely help NXT cement the Japanese Superstar as the new face of the cruiserweight division.

However, is it the right move to give Escobar another shot at the title instead of having him move into some other rivalry? Escobar has already had a long and good run with the title, and it’s time he passes the torch to KUSHIDA.

Another loss could dent his image as he has been rather dominant during his time in NXT. Will it be fair to have him lose two consecutive championship matches in NXT? Or will creative cut KUSHIDA’s title reign short?
