NXT- 5 Points To Note (28 March, 2018)

#2 An unsanctioned blood feud

This may even be a more highly anticipated match, than all the title matches combined — This may even be a more highly anticipated match, than all the title matches put together

Gargano and Ciampa do not need a title to tear the house down. They have the best story going in all of professional wrestling today. A story that the whole audience is highly invested in. A story of friendship, of betrayal and of revenge.

Ciampa began NXT by stating how much of a living hell Gargano had made his existence. Regal stipulated that the two men would square off in an unsanctioned match at NXT TakeOver: New Orleans. This is a match that could potentially be the Match of the Year, even before the bell rings.

IT'S OFFICIAL!@RealKingRegal has announced that, at #NXTTakeOver: New Orleans, it'll be @ProjectCiampa vs. @JohnnyGargano in an #UnsanctionedMatch!And if Ciampa wins... #JohnnyWrestling will be BANNED from #WWENXT! pic.twitter.com/b6l4MyfMLh

Months of build will finally come to a head at New Orleans. If this match doesn't go on last, the crowd may be emotionally drained out for the other matches.
