NXT Cruiserweight Championship: Curt Stallion vs. Santos Escobar w/Legado Del Fantasma
Santos Escobar smiled from the entrance ramp, to the ring, and to the ringing of the bell as he genuinely didn't see Curt Stallion as a threat. Escobar battered Stallion and brought him down to the middle of the mat. Far in the back of the CWC behind the crowd stood Scarlet covered in smoke and red lights. The Smoke Show watched on, obviously the messenger of Karrion Kross.
Eventually, Escobar noticed Scarlett and stared her down while dealing out more punishment on his challenger. He began to grin as he locked eyes her. Stallion managed to break away with a jawbreaker, but a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker left Stallion writhing in pain. Stallion caught Escobar with a schoolboy, nearly getting the win.
At this point, Escobar began to feel the pressure. Scarlet was staring daggers from across the way while Stallion began to pick up the pace. During the break, though, Escobar slammed Stallion onto the steel steps, getting back the upper hand.
The Muscle Buster connected on the inside, and Stallion followed that with a single leg Boston Crab. Stallion scratched and crawled close to the ropes, but Escobar transitioned to an STF, then a crossface.
Stallion refused to break, forcing Escobar to lock in a bow and arrow. It wasn't enough to put Stallion away, though, and the number one contender managed to catch the NXT Cruiserweight Champion with a German suplex. Escobar escaped to the floor but was hit with a high-speed suicide dive. A splash in the ring earned Stallion a two-count.
The double foot trapped DDT was countered, with Escobar launching Stallion into the corner with a suplex. The Phantom Driver and an elevated double underhook gutbuster ended Stallion's run for the gold.
Results: Santos Escobar defeated Curt Stallion via pinfall on NXT.
Grade: B
After the match, Karrion Kross appeared and demolished Legado Del Fantasma. Kross entered the ring, and Santos Escobar refused to back down. Kross said that they seem to have an ever-growing issue, so they're going to settle that. However, he's going to give the NXT Cruiserweight Champion some time to think about the inevitable.
Escobar left the ring, but not once did he break his glare.
