Ciampa Suggested A Steel Cage Match To Gargano & Black
NXT Champion Tommaso Ciampa and boasted about his victory over Velveteen Dream at NXT TakeOver: WarGames II. Ciampa blasted the crowd for still refusing to believe in him, Tommaso then pointed directly at Mauro Ranallo and shouted: “you don’t believe in me but mamma mia here I stand!”.
Ciampa declared himself the sports entertainer of the year but was then interrupted by Aleister Black. Aleister made his way to the ring as the crowd chanted his name. Aleister stated that he absolved Gargano of his sins at TakeOver and accused Ciampa of creating those sins.
Black said that Ciampa is not a real champion, he is another sin that he be absolved. Black announced that he will invoke his rematch clause at NXT TakeOver: Pheonix. Johnny Gargano joined the party and said that he wasn’t finished with Aleister Black.
Gargano added that it is over when he says it is over and got right in Aleister’s face. Ciampa jokingly called Gargano “Johnny Badass” and said that Gargano gets fixated on things and refuses to let things go.
Tommaso suggested that Black and Gargano finish their rivalry inside of a steel cage. Ciampa asked the crowd if they wanted to see that and the crowd responded with a “yes!” chant. Gargano wanted the match and Black shouted that he would fight him back in the parking lot.
Johnny asked Black how that worked out for him last time and Aleister went for the Black Mass but Gargano got out of the way. Aleister then hit Ciampa with a Black Mass to end the show.
If @JohnnyGargano & @WWEAleister want to settle things the right way, they'll need to do so inside of a steel cage.
Of course, that’s just @ProjectCiampa’s opinion… #WWENXT pic.twitter.com/IWIaKStscG
