And new! Titles are some of the most important things in all of wrestling, especially if someone wins a title for the first time in their career. That is the kind of moment that can be an absolute game changer in wrestling, as it means that someone is getting a chance to show what they can do on a different level. That is what we saw again this week, though it was not without controversy.

This week on NXT, Lexis King defeated Charlie Dempsey to become the new NXT Heritage Cup Champion. The win came after King’s corner man William Regal offered him brass knuckles but King turned them down. Regal then hit King with a left hand, resulting in the referee thinking Dempsey had used the knuckles and forcing a disqualification to make King champion. This is King’s first title in NXT.

He’s quite good. Check out King’s win and his time in NXT:

Opinion: The ending has me wondering where things are going as King may or may not have been in on Regal’s method to win the title. At the same time, what matters the most is that King has won something, as he has been close multiple times before but it never happened. For now, King is the champion and we get to see just how things go from here, which should be interesting.
