What's next for Leon Ruff in WWE?

It was only in October when Leon Ruff officially signed a contract with WWE. Despite being with the company in 2019, Ruff only occasionally wrestled. Within a month after signing his contract with WWE, Leon would go on to beat NXT veteran Johnny Gargano to win the North American title.

The win would mark his first title win in WWE, and just his second notable championship win in professional wrestling. That being said, Leon Ruff has already defended his title once against the former champion.

The next time, Ruff will be putting his title on the line against both Johnny Gargano and Damian Priest at NXT TakeOver: WarGames.
