#1 The Betrayal
As if Johnny Gargano hadn’t had enough fun with Finn Balor already, it was his betrayal that took the game away from his long-time friend, Tommaso Ciampa.
Trending
During the NXT Championship match, Kyle O’Reilly slipped the NXT Championship belt into the ring for Adam Cole. However, Ciampa saw the belt and tried to take advantage of it himself before Johnny Gargano appeared and pulled the belt out of the ring. He then attacked Ciampa with it, allowing Cole to pin the former Champion and retain the title himself.
Gargano’s betrayal was not only unexpected, but it was also by far the biggest swerve NXT could have pulled off on a night when Gargano suffered defeat at the hands of Finn Balor.
While DIY has always had several twists and turns, taking the two men down the same path again seems to be odd given the fact that these two men were the frontrunners to dethrone Adam Cole.
With NXT pulling off the ultimate swerve, things will only get more interesting from here on and fans who were expecting Cole to make the switch to RAW or SmackDown soon will just have to wait a bit longer.
