The last thing WWE needs is to have another NXT Champion go down due to injury.

After the unfortunate injury of Tomasso Ciampa, a new NXT Champion needed to be crowned.

In an epic match, it was Johnny Gargano who emerged the victor, toppling long-time foe Adam Cole to win the vacant title. And though this was a huge win for Gargano, who is now the first-ever NXT Triple Crown Champion, it may not be long-lived.

According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Gargano is currently dealing with a knee injury. Though little else is known about the reported injury, this is definitely the opposite of what WWE wanted to happen, if true.

After capturing the vacant title following Ciampa's forfeiture, the last thing WWE needs is the title to be vacated once again, and for another of the developmental brand's top stars to be on the shelf.
