Cruiserweight Championship Match Added To WWE NXT TakeOver: 31 Card

On August 26, Santos Escobar defended the NXT Cruiserweight Championship for the first time against Isaiah "Swerve" Scott. The two men battled back and forth for 16 minutes, but the Leader of Legado Del Fantasma picked up the win after headbutting the former Killshot with a loaded luchador mask.

Scott has been out for revenge ever since and he pinned Escobar for a second time during a six-man tag team match on NXT Super Tuesday.
