After Karrion Kross relinquished his newly earned WWE NXT Championship Title due to a shoulder injury to open the August 26, 2020 edition of NXT, William Regal was forced to make a decision regarding the title.
Later in the show, William Regal made his way to the ring after meeting with the higher-ups in NXT. Regal began, "We witnessed an incredible main event at NXT TakeOver XXX as Keith Lee faced Karrion Kross for the NXT Championship."
Regal continued, "Even after suffering an injury, Kross pushed through and became NXT Champion." Regal states Kross has relinquished the title with conviction and veracity. Regal then wished Kross best wishes through his recovery.
Moving forward, Regal stated they've come up with an incredibly solution. "Next week, four of the greatest superstars ALL former NXT Champions, four men who can claim to be the greatest in this industry will be in a four-way match to decide the new champion!" Regal announced.
Regal then announced the four superstars who would be competing in the four-way match-up. "A man who made history, the first triple crowned champion of NXT, Johnny Gargano. Next, a man who was never defeated for his title, Tomasso Ciampa. A man who reigned for 292 days as NXT Champion, the first WWE Universal Champion, Finn Balor. Finally, another triple crowned champion, Adam Cole!
Next week on NXT Super Tuesday, one of those four men will be champion. For the first time in history, the championship will be announced in a Four-Way 60 Minute Iron-man Match!
