#3 Karrion Kross vanquishes Damian Priest, continues his undefeated streak in NXT

Karrion Kross made his much anticipated return to prominence on today's episode of NXT in a match against Damian Priest. After being away from action since August, he was urging to get back the NXT Championship he vacated just a day after winning it. However, he had to go through The Archer of Infamy before finding his way into the championship picture.

While not being as strong as other matches on the show, this was still a pretty brutal affair between the two as they told a logical story of Kross taking advantage of Priest's injuries, all while the latter fought resiliently.

Kross coming on top was the predictable outcome, as he seems all set to be the next challenger for the NXT Championship. His undefeated streak continues here on NXT, and it's to hard believe that creative would end it anytime soon, considering the absolute star he has proved to be for the Black and Gold brand.

The reports of Damian Priest possibly moving to the main roster have emerged, and this was quite a decent way to bid adieu to NXT.
