NXT: The Great American Bash night two was certainly historic. The main event would go on to change the landscape of the Black and Gold brand. In the explosive main event, Keith Lee ended the iconic reign of Adam Cole.
Along with a barrage of wishes and praise on social media, the new double champion received praise from one man who knows a lot about winning championships.
A month before the event, NXT’s three highly-rated talents faced each other to become the number one contender for Adam Cole’s NXT Championship.

Keith Lee defeated Johnny Gargano and Finn Balor, and now had a shot at Adam Cole in a winner takes all battle.
In the buildup to this match, WWE superstars and legends gave their predictions.
Even though Keith Lee had strong support, the majority went with Adam Cole.
A few days before the match, Keith Lee lost his coach.
The NXT champ was very close to his coach as the latter had always told him that he would be a big star.
The match itself got very close in the end.
After Cole hit his signature maneuver, Lee looked like he was done. However, instead of pinning Lee, Cole went to the top rope for a Panama Sunrise.
It certainly misfired as the North American Champ turned the maneuver into a Spirit Bomb and then hit a Big Bang Catastrophe to defeat Cole.
