The February 4 episode of NXT featured a confrontation between Heritage Cup Champion Lexis King and returning star JDC, formerly known as Fandango. During the segment, King announced changes to the Heritage Cup championship matches, stating that future defenses would take place in standard one-fall matches instead of rounds matches.
JDC interrupted King’s announcement, making his entrance to the ring and revealing his representation of TNA’s The System. The former WWE star declared his intention to challenge for the Heritage Cup next week, leading to an exchange between the two competitors.
Well that changes EVERYTHING! 😳
