The 8 Best KUSHIDA Matches In NXT

7. KUSHIDA vs. Trey Baxter for the NXT Cruiserweight Championship – WWE NXT 6/15/21

Following his Cruiserweight Title win, KUSHIDA instituted an open challenge to highlight the division.

In his second iteration of the challenge, it was accepted by Trey Baxter, previously and now known as Blake Christian.

Baxter used his speed and athleticism to keep KUSHIDA on his back foot. Kyle O’Reilly came down to watch this contest before the commercial break (more on that later).

Trey hit a spanish fly and a 450 splash for a close nearfall that got the CWC crowd really into this one.

A battle on the top rope led to KUSHIDA hitting a super flying armbar into the Hoverboard Lock for the submission victory.

This was a nice showcase for Trey Baxter and showed what he had to offer, while giving KUSHIDA another quality win in his Cruiserweight Title reign.
