LA Knight stepped into the WWE NXT ring for the first time with a mic in his hand. He had a lot to say about his future on NXT and saw himself at the top of the lot. When Knight was done running his mouth, Bronson Reed arrived for his match against Cameron Grimes, and Knight was happy to leave.

Grimes was put in the match after William Regal found him gambling backstage and wanted to punish him for attacking an NXT crew member last week. The rich Superstar tried to buy his way out of the match, but The Colossal wasn’t interested in his money.

The two men traded some early blows, but Reed was on top. A dive through the ropes impressed the NXT Universe as The Colossal Reed continued to show-off his athleticism.

While Reed had the match under control, Knight reappeared to knock Reed off the top rope during a Tsunami splash attempt. This allowed Grimes to hit the Cave-In and pick up a big victory.

It’s sad to watch Reed fall down the ladder once again after impressing the NXT Universe. The Superstar should be in the NXT North American Championship picture instead of building storylines for other Superstars. However, the ending could lead to a big rivalry between Reed and Knight that can help both Superstars get over.
