WWE has announced that Damian Priest will defend his North American Championship against Dexter Lumis on this week’s edition of WWE NXT.
Lumis returned to NXT two weeks ago and picked up a win over Austin Theory.

Damian Priest to defend NXT North American Title against Dexter Lumis
Damian Priest has turned aside all comers for his NXT North American Championship thus far, but can his reign survive The Tortured Artist’s wrath?
Priest will defend the title against Dexter Lumis tomorrow night on NXT, as announced on Twitter by NXT GM William Regal.
The Archer of Infamy has quickly established himself as a fighting champion since claiming the title in an unbelievable Five-Way Ladder Match at NXT TakeOver XXX, overcoming challenges from Johnny Gargano and Timothy Thatcher, respectively.
Lumis originally earned a spot in that Ladder Match, but wasn’t cleared to compete due to an ankle injury. The bizarre Superstar took care of Austin Theory in one-on-one action last week, looking equal parts impressive and disturbing in his return to the ring.
Will Priest hit his mark yet again, or will Lumis slither his way to championship gold?
I have been extremely impressed with @ArcherOfInfamy as of late, and as a fighting champion, he should welcome all challengers. @DexterLumis was unfortunately injured before his last opportunity … but he’ll have it tomorrow night! Lumis vs Priest for the #NXTNATitle! #WWENXT
