This attack happened ahead of Takeover: Brooklyn which took him out of his main event match with Tomasso Ciampa and Johnny Gargano as the NXT Universe tried to figure out who attacked the former Champion.
This was WWE's fantastic plan to cover for the fact that Aleister Black was injured and unable to compete in Brooklyn since he had suffered a legitimate groin injury at a live event in Las Vegas a few days before. Black underwent surgery and was able to return to the company a few months later, where it was revealed that Johnny Gargano was the man behind the parking lot attack.
