Joe Hendry won the NXT Title in a brutal ladder match last week. It didnt take long for someone new to step up. The February 10 episode of NXT opened up with Joe Hendry cutting a promo for fans. However, the good feelings didnt last long. Jackson Drake and the Vanity Project came out next, and they got in Joe Hendrys face. After a back-and-forth promo battle, the stable attacked the newly-crowned NXT Champion. After laying Joe Hendry out, Jackson Drake picked up the NXT Title and he held it above his head. The message was very clear that Drake wanted the title. Keanu Carver approached Robert Stone backstage after that segment. He wasnt happy about Jackson Drake stepping up and getting a title shot against Joe Hendry so quickly. That is when the Interim General Manager revealed that Joe Hendry wants the match, so its happening. It was later announced that the match was happening later on in the night. [Update] Joe Hendry went on to beat Jackson Drake later on in the show. This was a successful defense for the new NXT Champion, and it got his first retention out of the way.
