During Tuesday night’s episode of WWE NXT, we witnessed history in the making as Isaiah “Swerve” Scott defeated NXT North American Champion Bronson Reed to become the new champion.
The title victory ends Reed’s run with the title at 42 days, having won it from Johnny Gargano on the May 18th episode of NXT in a cage match. This marks Swerve’s first title reign in WWE.

It's going to take a lot to take the #NXTNATitle out of @bronsonreedwwe's grasp.
