The latest NXT tapings saw former NXT Champion Aleister Black returning to in-ring action after last week’s episode and the possible revelation of his mystery attacker after weeks of build up.
During the tapings of the October 24th episode of the show, William Regal came down to the ring for the final segment of the episode. He was going to announce Tomasso Ciampa’s opponent for NXT Takeover: WarGames II.
However, before Regal can make the announcement, the NXT Champion came out to interrupt the General Manager, only to be interrupted by both Velveteen Dream and Lars Sullivan himself.
Both Dream and Sullivan exchanged words and Sullivan put Velveteen into a choke. Nikki Cross was the next to come out in the arena and she announced ‘he’s coming’.
Aleister Black then made his way to the ring through the crowd and superkicked Lars Sullivan who was engaged with Dream.
Johnny Gargano then comes out of nowhere, wearing a black hoodie and lays down Black with a superkick of his own. Gargano puts his hood back up and leaves to end the show.
After this segment and Gargano’s attack, it’s pretty clear that he will be named the mystery attacker in later tapings, but we cannot be 100% sure until Aleister Black confirms it.
