NXT has a new champion!
On March 8, Bron Breakker put the NXT Championship on the line against Dolph Ziggler and Tommaso Ciampa. Breakker teamed up with Ciampa last Tuesday and yesterday on WWE Raw, defeating Dolph and Robert Roode both times.
The match saw each man come close to winning on numerous occasions, but it was ultimately Robert Roode who would swing the match in Dolph's favor, breaking up a near fall and pulling Breakker out of Ciampa's way when the match seemed destined to end. Ziggler would capitalize and hit a superkick on Ciampa for the pin and win to become the new NXT Champion.
Breakker won the belt at New Year's Evil and defended it once against Santos Escobar.
