Keith Lee and Karrion Kross will head against each other for the NXT championship, at NXT Takeover XXX. The two are in an intense in-ring feud.
On August 12 episode of WWE NXT, Keith Lee Vs. Karrion Kross became official after Kross signed a contract, which was offered by Keith Lee himself. The contract signing wasn’t touted as the part of the show, before the start, but emanated in the very first segment of the week’s NXT taping.

Keith Lee Vs. Karrion Kross Made Official
Karrion Kross and Danny Burch kicked off the show, the two faced each other, where Kross picked an easy win. Just seconds after the match got over, Keith Lee made an appearance, and stood in the ring, where he indirectly conveyed to Kross that so far he has done nothing but to evade punishment from the champion. Lee had a contact in his hand, which presumably listed the terms of a match, he passed the contact to Scarlett Bordeaux, who in-turn handed it to Karrion Kross, both Bordeaux and Kross, were standing outside the ring.
