WWE NXT has a new North American Champion as of this Saturday evening.
Dominik Mysterio defended the title of North American Champion this Saturday evening during the NXT Deadline 2023. His opponent should have been Wes Lee, but since he was injured, another challenger was named: it is Dragon Lee, and it was Rey Mysterio himself who announced him.
No luck for Dominik Mysterio, who couldn't count on his Judgment Day partners this Saturday evening. He had to defend his title alone, while Dragon Lee could count on the support of… Rey Mysterio, albeit on crutches.

A context that was favorable for Dragon Lee, as the luchador won with a Destino after Dominik Mysterio missed a 619, which allowed Lee to regain the upper hand by carrying a sitout powerbomb before the finisher.
