#4. Roderick Strong retained his title on WWE NXT 2.0

Grayson Waller challenged Roderick Strong for the Cruiserweight Championship on WWE NXT 2.0. Waller looked set to win the title from the Diamond Mine member and attacked him before the bell.

The newcomer kept attacking the veteran before he launched him to the outside off the top rope. It was good to see Waller dominate Strong for some time and keep him on the backfoot. He nearly sneaked a victory with a pin before the NXT Cruiserweight Champion kicked out

The Messiah of the Backbreaker exploded back into the match with big moves. He showed Waller why he's the champion, and did some damage to his back.

A rolling cutter allowed Greyson Waller to make a comeback into the contest. However, a huge knee to the face helped Strong pick up the win on NXT 2.0.

Both men came out looking strong after a short match. Waller used his speed to get over the veteran early and nearly picked up the win. Strong fought back late and used his experience to take down the newcomer. NXT did well to give both men time to shine.
