After Candice LeRae and Johnny Gargano revealed a new side to them last month and got into an interesting storyline with Mia Yim and Keith Lee soon after, the couple was out on NXT this week.

Gargano and LeRae introduced the Gargano Invivtaional to the WWE Universe where newcomers would get a chance to compete against the best in NXT. He claimed that he wanted to give the new guys a chance to get a good start.

Adrian Alanis was his first victim and Gargano made him tap out to the Garga-No-Escape soon after the match began.

Lee and Yim were shown on the screen after the match eating dinner. The couple made fun of Gargano and LeRae, calling them out for their self-absorbed attitude. Tegan Nox was also shown to take the side of the babyfaces.

They keep talking about NXT Takeover: In Your House...I may have some plans. https://t.co/5a7pIc32Gz

Later on in the night, LeRae confronted Nox during a match between Shotzi Blackheart and Raquel Gonzalez. The distraction allowed Gonzalez to pick up an unclean win.

This will likely give us a massive rivalry that could begin as early as TakeOver: In Your House and stretch on for the next couple of months.
