Nathan Frazer (with Dragon Lee) defeated NXT Heritage Cup Champion, Noam Dar.
In what can be considered a stunner, Nathan Frazer downed Noam Dar just days before Dar defends the NXT Heritage Cup at Battleground against Dragon Lee.
As the two Superstars put on a clinic inside the ring, Lee appeared at ringside and distracted Dar. It worked to perfection as Frazer hit a diving splash to the outside and subsequently hit a Phoenix Splash to defeat the Heritage Cup champ. (Via WWE.com)
