WWE NXT Results (March 17th, 2021): Winners, Grades, and Video Highlights

Karrion Kross started off with NXT Tag Team Champion, Oney Lorcan. The Boston Brawler was easily overpowered by Kross, sending him over to tag out to Danny Burch.

The Guvnor of NXT was dropped twice with Kross' shoulder before getting his head ripped off with a clothesline. Kross locked in a bear hug, torturing Burch in the middle of the ring. Burch finally broke away after minutes in the hold but was dropped with a big slam for his transgressions.

The NXT Tag Champions teamed up on Kross but were dropped on their heads with a pair of suplexes. Kross stood next to Finn Balor while the ref checked on Danny Burch.

It seemed that Burch was legitimately injured, leading to Lorcan tagging himself in. Balor slapped the back of Kross, wanting to show off to his challenger.

The NXT Champion was taken to the opposite end of the ring as Oney Lorcan tore into him with a bevy of strikes. Kross stared on as his partner was battered around the ring. We saw the doctor checking on Danny Burch, who refused to leave ringside.

Balor managed to catch Lorcan with a kick, but the NXT Tag Team Champion knocked Kross off the apron before he could tag in. Balor decided he'd take care of the match on his own, lighting up the champion with a series of running chops. The double stomp connected, and Lorcan was dumped to the floor.

The Shotgun Dropkick connected, but it sent Lorcan into Scarlett. Balor checked on her, but Kross thought that it was on purpose. He laid out his partner, setting Balor up for Oney's running uppercut.

Kross rolled in and mauled Balor and Lorcan, dropping the NXT Tag Team Champion with the Doomsday Saito and choking out Balor with the Kross Jacket. Scarlett called him off, but only so Kross could lay into him with his forearm to the neck.

She told us earlier in the night, "𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒚𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒉𝒂𝒑𝒑𝒆𝒏𝒔 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒂 𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒔𝒐𝒏. 𝒀𝒐𝒖 𝒄𝒂𝒏'𝒕 𝒆𝒔𝒄𝒂𝒑𝒆 𝒇𝒂𝒕𝒆."#WWENXT @Lady_Scarlett13 @WWEKarrionKross @FinnBalor pic.twitter.com/mwAAiAatMT
