The NXT Heritage Cup remains with “Supernova 11.” Noam Dar outlasted superb luchador Dragon Lee in the first-ever Heritage Cup Match on American soil.  With the match being contested under Heritage Cup rules, the first three minutes were a feeling out process as neither Superstar picked up a fall in the allotted time.  The second round was much faster paced as Dar even picked up the first fall thanks to a crafty roll-up.  Dar spent the third round working Lee over, using several holds and submissions to keep the high-flying Superstar grounded. As the round came to a close, Dar hit Lee with a cheap shot after the bell rang.  A clearly stung Lee was not in a good place in round four, but he managed to pick up a fall after Dar was distracted by a fight between Oro Mensah and Nathan Frazer.  The decisive blow came in the final round when Lash Legend and Jakara Jackson appeared out of nowhere, attacking Lee while the referee was distracted. Their presence allowed Dar to hit the Nova Roller and retain the Heritage Cup.
