#3 Dexter Lumis’ threat continues
Roderick Strong was ready to face his fears in the most extreme situation as he was strapped to his tormentor, Dexter Lumis. Last week on NXT, Strong had managed to run away while Bobby Fish was caught by Lumis, but this week’s stipulation allowed him no escape.
Strong attacked Lumis before the match even started but then attempted to run away several times before being pulled back in by Lumis.
The two men fought outside the ring and Strong managed to injure Lumis on the stage before trying to pull him back to the ring.
Bobby Fish tried to help out his partner as Strong hit a running single leg dropkick to Lumis but could not manage to keep him down for the three-count. Lumis threw Strong into Fish before hitting the Uranage Slam and then locked him in the Silence with the strap wrapped around Strong’s mouth to make him tap out.
Dexter Lumis seems to be getting ready to reach the top of WWE NXT
This was a great match that allowed Lumis to grow more in NXT against Strong, who is arguably one of the top three performers of the brand. It will be interesting to see where Strong and Fish go from here, as it seems like Adam Cole has been disconnected from them for some time.
