It's hard to believe that it was NXT Takeover: Chicago last year when Tommaso Ciampa attacked his long-time friend Johnny Gargano after they failed to defeat Authors of Pain to regain their NXT Tag Team Championships.
A knee injury forced Ciampa onto the sidelines for almost a year before he resurfaced after Gargano lost his NXT Championship match back in January.
Only Sportskeeda gives you the latest Wrestling News, rumors and updates.
In recent months, The Sicilian Psychopath has cost Gargano his place on the NXT roster and has even been defeated by his former friend in an unsanctioned match, but this still didn't settle the animosity between them.
A street fight has been made official by the NXT General Manager William Regal, but how can a street fight be bigger than the unsanctioned match they already had? WWE has a number of fantastic match stipulations at their disposal, and here are just five that the company could have instead.
#5 "I Quit" Match
Gargano already proved that he has what it takes to defeat his longtime friend and so far he has won both matches that the former tag team partners have had in NXT, dating back to the Cruiserweight Classic in 2016.
Both of these men now have a personal problem with the other and the only way to settle this is to have the other person humiliated enough that they don't want to continue the feud.
The "I Quit" match stipulation has always been one of the most brutal in WWE and it ensures that the other person has to say the words I Quit to his opponent before the match can end.
With the issues between these two former housemates now at boiling point, this would have been the perfect way to decide who the alpha was and allow both men to then move forward.
The great thing about an "I Quit" match as well is that Ciampa could use Candice LeRae to make Gargano quit, which would then lead to a final blowoff match between the two men in future.
#4. Backstage brawl/parking lot brawl
It has been a long time since WWE has given the WWE Universe a backstage/parking lot brawl, but given the fact that no arena has been able to contain these two superstars throughout their feud and the main thing that they've done is a brawl, it would make perfect sense.
Ciampa already attacked Gargano from behind and saw him stretchered out of the arena and taken to a local medical facility, so this match type would allow both men to throw everything they have at one another until the other is unable to get back up and fight.
Much like many other matches that WWE is known for, this is a brawl so there are no rules which means that weapons and interferences are commonplace and since this match expects both, this could be wildly entertaining.
#3 Handicap Match
One notable difference about Gargano right now is that he has his wife by his side for the first time in NXT.
LeRae was as close to Ciampa as Gargano, she saw him as a best friend too and his betrayal was heartbreaking for her.
Not only has she had to watch in horror as her husband's former friend has attacked him week after week, but she has also had to watch her husband turn into the thing that he despises the most in order to function after everything that has happened.
Candice was only physically brought into this feud last week on NXT when Ciampa knocked Gargano into his wife and she was then pushed into the metal ramp.
If anything, Candice deserves as much revenge as her husband and she should legally be allowed to step into this match and help her husband to get even. Afterall, when you're married you stick together and you take on all enemies.
It's quite likely Candice will become involved anyway, but it would have been great for the Women's Revolution to have a woman fighting men since LeRae has made a career out of intergender matches and it would be a huge step forward for the company.
Afterall, Candice has a lot of history with Tommaso Ciampa.
#2 Fans bring the weapons match
There is no doubting the fact that Tommaso Ciampa is the most hated heel in WWE right now.
He almost ended Gargano's career, he's caused a rift between him and his wife and even worse than that, he spoiled Avengers: Infinity War when he decided to Tweet about it.
Ciampa has hurt the WWE Universe just as much as he has hurt Gargano and LeRae over the past few months and they deserve to be part of the show.
Of course, the logistics of one of these matches is pretty simple when it's done at an Indy show, but for a televised event like WWE, it could be seen as a security risk.
It would be fantastic for the WWE Universe to show up carrying bats and microwaves and all of the weapons that they feel Gargano should use on Ciampa and if there was a sensible way for WWE to make it happen then it would be historic as well.
#1 Loser leaves NXT match
After all of the cool match types on this list, this one does seem like quite a boring one, but after such a huge rivalry between two people, it's hard to believe that they can co-exist in the same locker room.
Of course, it doesn't have to be a straightforward match, this could be the stipulation on an Ambulance match or even a Stretcher match since Ciampa likes sending Gargano to the hospital on a stretcher.
It's thought that this won't be the final match between the two stars anyway, but it has to be one that sends a message.
If WWE decided that Chicago is the place it all began so it should be the place it comes to an end, then one of these men need to leave NXT for good after the match.
Ciampa already cost Gargano his place in the company once, it would definitely give him the ammunition to make sure that he is not the one signing his termination papers this time.
