Johnny Gargano will no longer stay at the top champion under the WWE NXT banner.
Gargano did not successfully retain the NXT Title over Adam Cole but rather Cole upset the champion in the main event of WWE NXT TakeOver: XXV event in Bridgeport, CT at the Webster Bank Arena that aired on their streaming service.
It was a good back and forth contest between two of the top stars in WWE’s developmental brand.
This was a rematch between them as Gargano beat Cole in a 2 out of 3 falls match to win the vacant title during the NXT TakeOver: New York event from the Barclays Center on WrestleMania 35 weekend. The title became vacant once NXT Champion Tommaso Ciampa underwent neck surgery in early March.
WWE holds NXT TV tapings on Wednesday, June 12th in Winter Park, Florida at Full Sail University where WWE will have the fallout from this event as well as this match.
It will be interesting to see what WWE has in store for Cole but it appears that the third match between these two stars is coming up in a few months.
What are your thoughts on Adam Cole beating Johnny Gargano to win the NXT Title? Was this the right call by WWE officials? Sound off in the comment section.
