Major NXT Star Suffers Injury At TakeOver XXX

On a media call following NXT TakeOver XXX, Triple H has revealed that a major NXT star suffered an injury during his match on the show.

In the show’s main event, Karrion Kross continued his unbeaten record by defeating Keith Lee for the NXT Championship, but the news following his win doesn’t sound great.

Triple H said that Kross may have suffered a separated shoulder during the match and will have an MRI scan to determine if that’s the case.

If it doesn’t need surgery, a separated shoulder isn’t a huge issue and would take a few weeks to a couple of months to recover. But, if it were to need surgery, it could become several months.

Karrion Kross captured the NXT Championship from Keith Lee at TakeOver XXX, and he did it after sustaining a shoulder injury, WWE.com has learned.

WWE medical staff confirmed that Kross sustained a separated acromioclavicular joint during his battle with The Limitless One. Despite the injury, a determined Kross took down the champion, showing incredible toughness by lifting Lee up for a devastating Doomsday Saito off the middle rope to claim the NXT Championship.

Kross will have an MRI on Monday to determine the full extent of the injury.
