Johnny Gargano addresses the crowd

I am really, really not sure about this segment and the direction that NXT seem to be taking Johnny Gargano. They've taken one of the whitest of white-hot babyfaces and have turned the crowd against him because, as he's already done before, he's 'lost sight of who he is'.

Now, I'm not sure how many times we can see Johnny Gargano struggle to remember that he's 'Johnny Wrestling' before it gets old but still, the segment itself was entertaining and we'll has to wait and see what happens.

Gargano entered the ring and said he didn't deserve the fans respect because he failed to win the NXT title and even became what he hates, Ciampa. He said he wanted to be better but didn't know how.

William Regal then entered the ring and asked Gargano to his face if he attacked Aleister Black, Gargano tells Regal to look into his eyes, then he'll know. But Velveteen Dream then interrupted.

Dream said that he's sick of listening to the same old 'Poor Johnny' sob story. He goes on to add that tonight should be about Velveteen Dream, not Johnny Failure. Dream continued to taunt Gargano until he retaliated, throwing a crutch at the Superstar.

Regal prevented the two men from coming to blows and instead, booked a match for next week's show between the two. It's sure to be a great match and I'm looking forward to it.
