Johnny Gargano and LA Knight to collide on NXT
Johnny Gargano has a lot on his mind these days and will now have to deal with the arrogant LA Knight inside the squared circle.
Johnny Wrestling found himself in Mr. Regal’s office on Tuesday in hopes of getting the scheduled Indi Hartwell & Dexter Lumis wedding called off. As Gargano pleaded his case, LA Knight stormed in with his own agenda, and the two outspoken Superstars ended up throwing barbs at each other.
Who will stand tall when the two converge in the ring?
Also, Tommaso Ciampa will go one-on-one with Ridge Holland and Kyle O’Reilly will face Duke Hudson and Roderick Strong had his open challenge accepted by Ikemen Jiro.
There will also be an appearance from the brand new WWE NXT UK Champion, Ilja Dragunov:
NXT UK Champion Ilja Dragunov rolls back into NXT
The Ring General has fallen. Long live the Czar!
Fresh off his victorious NXT TakeOver 36 effort, NXT UK Champion Ilja Dragunov will return to NXT with the championship in tow.
