WWE NXT (24th July 2019): 5 Points to note

#4 Johnny Gargano and Adam Cole pick their stipulations for their Takeover Match

Even if I didn't like the idea of the "2-out-of-3 falls, each guy picks a stipulation" match, I would totally be sold on it just from hearing William Regal announce it.

Brock Lesnar hates these 8 WWE stars? Watch Here!

But, I do like it, and it's another example of NXT using gimmick matches to maximum effect. They're not just throwing a couple of guys into a cage or whatever because they don't like each other. There's a reason for this madness.

Basically, to sum up, Gargano won their first 2-out-of-3 falls match to get the NXT Championship, although Cole won the first fall. Cole used that to claim that he should be the rightful champion - and then became the owner of the championship after winning their next match. Now, they're going back to that original stipulation... with a twist.

These two have put on two amazing matches so far, and this one sounds like it'll be the best one yet.
