After Leon Ruff entered the ring, we got a video package of the underdog, but it was interrupted by Johnny Gargano.Mr. NXT claimed that Ruff was just there to embarrass him, and it was all Damian Priest's plan. Ruff is a joke, and tonight the joke ends. He laid the NXT North American Champion out with a cheap elbow smash prior to the bell.NXT North American Championship: Johnny Gargano vs Leon Ruff (c)Johnny Gargano is tired of playing gamesGargano battered Ruff laying into him with rights and bouncing him around the corners. The first-ever NXT Triple Crown Champion was steaming after his embarrassing loss last night and looked to make an example of Ruff. However, the NXT North American Champion had other ideas, bouncing around the ropes to evade Gargano's offense and hitting an incredible triple jump hurricanrana.A dropkick took Gargano to the floor, and he followed with a big dive. However, when Ruff went for the crucifix pin, Ruff was caught, and Gargano nearly took his head off with a clothesline. Two lawn darts into the corner left Ruff struggling to stand.Gargano set up for his DIY superkick, but a distraction from Damian Priest allowed Rush to nearly get a win with a schoolboy. A rebound clothesline laid out Gargano, and Ruff moved up for a senton bomb.Gargano avoided, though, and planted that superkick right on the jaw of Ruff. A powerbomb bounced Ruff off the mat, and Gargano finished it with the One Final Beat. Ruff was pulled out of the ring by Damian Priest, who apologized before knocking him out with a right hand.Results: Leon Ruff defeated Johnny Gargano via DQ on NXT.Grade: BI WAS SCREWED!
