There were two big title changes at Saturday night’s NXT No Mercy premium live event.
NXT North American Championship Changes Hands
Trick Williams defeated Dominik Mysterio to become the new NXT North American Champion on Saturday night’s No Mercy premium live event.
Dragon Lee served as the special guest referee for the match. Below is an excerpt from Alex Kahrs’ NXT No Mercy recap of how it all went down.
Trick takes the champ down as another ref comes in for the count, but the champ manages to kick out! Trick is still on the attack as he takes Dom down again, but still can’t get more than a nearfall as a result. The action goes back and forth once more utnil both men go down, as Dom slowly gets back to his feet.
The action boils down into chaos as the second referee ends up getting taken down, and in the chaos Dragon Lee ends up back up as Dom tries to use the title to lay out the challenger…but Trick takes the champ down with a jumping knee that gets him the pin and the win to become the new North American Champion!
WWE also shared footage on social media of Shawn Michaels congratulating Trick Williams backstage after his huge win.

Below is an excerpt from Alex Kahrs’ NXT No Mercy recap of how it all went down.
