Triple H Reveals What Will Happen With NXT Championship Due to Ciampa’s Injury



 








The NXT Championship match at TakeOver: New York has been confirmed following an injury that forced Tommaso Ciampa to relinquish the title.
 
Triple H announced at the NXT TV tapings on Wednesday that Johnny Gargano will face-off at TakeOver next month in a title match against the winner of Ricochet vs. Adam Cole vs. Aleister Black vs. Velveteen Dream vs. Matt Riddle moments later in the taping.
 
Furthermore, the NXT Championship match at TakeOver will be two-out-of-three falls.
 
At the beginning of Triple H’s promo, the WWE exec admitted he had planned on announcing Gargano vs. Ciampa for the NXT Championship at TakeOver … but that obviously could no longer happen due to Tommaso suffering a neck injury that required surgery.
As we previously reported, Ciampa underwent surgery last week. 
 
The taping is still in progress, so we’ll update the post after the five-way match happens. 

 
 

This has Matt Riddle written all over it.

 

[Pugz]

too soon for matt imo. i have a feeling hes going to be a guy vince skyrockets to the main and then cant get him over. matt is a guy that needs to have full support behind. the crowd will easily forget him gimmick if they book him shitty

 

[Pugz]

Following tonight's NXT show here is the official card for NXT Takeover New York

Adam Cole vs Johnny Gargano in a 2 Out of 3 Falls Match for the NXT Title
Matt Riddle vs Velveteen Dream for the NXT North American Title
War Raiders vs Dusty Rhodes Winners for the NXT Tag Team Titles
Shayna Baszler vs Io Shirai for the NXT Women's Title
Pete Dunne vs WALTER for the WWE UK Title



am i wrong for thinking they keep gargano on nxt until ciampa is back? cole loses and debuts on the main? do they keep UE together?

thinking dream loses and debuts too

UE debuting after mania would be HOT, dream may get the hottest pop in a long time too

The Wrestling Observer is reporting that Finn Bálor dropped the Intercontinental Title to Bobby Lashley on Raw because they have “pretty signifigent” plans for him at Wrestlemania 35.

 
There goes ya ATTMBR winner loooool

 

[Pugz]

 
There goes ya ATTMBR winner loooool

the demon will come out and scare everyone out of the ring

 

[Big Bid'Ness]

Yea im going to mania to see Corbin Vs Angle said no one ever lol

 

[Big Bid'Ness]

 
PWInsider has an update on the Kurt Angle vs Baron Corbin match for WM 35. The match was NOT a popular decision, with even Kurt Angle acknowledging the negativity on Twitter. His wife,
 
Giovanna Angle, even responded to a tweet Jim Ross put up where she agreed with JR that the matchup was underwhelming (her tweet has since been deleted). PWInsider’s report notes that the word backstage is that Angle was hoping for a “more high-profile” talent for his retirement match.
 
The report added that Angle picking Baron Corbin as his own opponent is clearly a storyline. However, WWE might always “change course” with the backstage plan on the match.

 
Creative!!!! lol.

 

[Big Bid'Ness]

Word is that they are nixing the Corbin - Angle match. Corbin was suppose to go over in that match.

PWInsider's Mike Johnson discussed the possibility of a blizzard hitting MetLife Stadium the day of Wrestlemania 35. WWE appears to be ready for that and any unfortunate weather that may hit MetLife that day.

"Unless the government shuts down the State of New Jersey, that show is going to take place no matter how inclement the weather may be. WWE has a specially designed ring that pumps heat out of the ring posts so talents will be working in a heated ring no matter the temperature and the ring will be covered from the elements as well, so trust me, that show will take place whether there is rain, sleet, snow or locusts."

- The Future GOAT

 

[Pugz]

With that being said, PWInsider is reporting that WWE is expected to cancel the planned RAW & SmackDown Tag Team Title matches at WrestleMania 35.

The Revival vs. Aleister Black & Ricochet for the RAW Tag Team Titles and The Usos vs. The Hardy Boyz for the SmackDown Tag Team Titles were expected to take place at WrestleMania 35.

 

[Big Bid'Ness]

Usos been in this company for a long time and never been on a Mania card other than the pre shows lol.
