Keith Lee confronts Karrion Kross
While all of us thought that it’ll be Karrion Kross who kickstarts this rivalry, the actions of the brutal Kross endured that it was the other way around.
Kross faced off against the super talented Dominik Dijakovic. As per expectations, the match was hard hitting considering the extremely physical style of wrestling sported by the two competitors.
At one point, it seemed like the invincible Kross was about to become the victim of a huge upset. A vicious without chokeslam by Dijakovic seemed like the end of the road for Kross.

However, the devious heel decided to deliver a cheap shot in order to win the contest. He smashed the head of Dijakovic between the steel steps and the ring post.
Then, he would drag the unconscious body of Dijakovic to the ring, landing some heavy elbows on his face. At this point, Keith Lee tried to come in to make the save.

After the show ended, Lee sent out a warning to Karrion Kross. He has indicated that the two have a problem now and Dijakovic won’t like the outcome of that.
You know Kross….originally I was laughing at you because of how clearly terrified you were of eating that choke slam from @DijakovicWWE.
But then you brought in the stairs because you were getting smashed in a straight up and down fight with Dijak. NOW….we have a problem. pic.twitter.com/YsnqlTYaN6
