NXT started tonight with the biggest upheaval in NXT history.
Johnny Gargano opened the show with his trusty wheel in the ring, which he spun to choose who he would defend his North American title against. Of course, the wheel was rigged and it landed on the one person who didn’t come across as a real challenge: Leon Ruff.
Gargano reserved an easy game for himself as he has never successfully defended a singles title in NXT. So he figured Leon Ruff, a shorter dude who mostly loses, would help him rectify that.
Nope.
Johnny Wrestling dominated the match, but was sidelined a bit when Damian Priest, who Johnny beat for the title at Halloween Havoc, started watching from ringside.
But Priest never tried to distract Johnny. Maybe it threw the champion out of the game, but what happened to Johnny wasn’t about Damian. And what happened was Leon Ruff dodged a kick to nail a crucifix bomb for the 1-2-3.
Damian Priest helped the champion win the title, but Leon was so thin he just slipped his trash on the floor.
Now Leon Ruff is your North American Championship. We will see how they book this.
Welcome to the age of Ruff, I guess?
