WWE NXT Results – Takeover Fallout, Eight-Person Main Event, New Champion, More

Welcome to our WrestlingINC.com Live WWE NXT Viewing Party. Tonight's show comes from the Capitol Wrestling Center in Orlando, FL.

- The first WWE NXT episode on Tuesday nights opens live on the USA Network from the Capitol Wrestling Center at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida. Fans cheer in the crowd as we go right to the ring.

- Out first comes new NXT Champion Karrion Kross with Scarlett to kick off the post-NXT "Takeover: Stand and Deliver" edition of the show. They perform their unique entrance as the crowd cheers them on. They pose together and Vic Joseph welcomes to NXT on Tuesdays. He's joined at ringside by Wade Barrett and WWE Hall of Famer Beth Phoenix.

Kross takes the mic and says time always comes full circle. A "you deserve it!" chant starts up. He says it was only a matter of time before he was standing back in this ring, his ring, with this title, his title, as the NXT Champion. Kross says Finn Balor is without a doubt one of the greatest to ever step in the ring. Fans pop. Kross goes on about Balor finding success everywhere he's went. Kross says unfortunately Balor thought Kross' emotions were weaknesses, and he didn't understand anything can become a driving force when you learn how to control it, and Kross controls everything.

Kross says to understand this – now the time has allowed the course to correct itself, Kross is in command of NXT until he says so. He uses the saying that is when you're at the top there's nowhere else to go but down, but he promises us that is a complete and total lie because no one will out train, out grind or out wrestle him and NXT has the hungriest guys and girls on the planet, but Kross is starving and insatiable so if you want this title, step up and roll the dice, he promises he will roll everyone off their heads.

Kross doesn't care who you are, where you've been, how many 0's are on your check, and everything else, he will fall every single one until no one is left because no matter where the time is told, in the end, everyone pays the toll. The music starts back up as Kross and Scarlett pose in the middle of the ring. Kross raises the title and plays to the crowd.
