Huge Championship Match Announced For NXT

One of the biggest upsets in wrestling took place last week on NXT. In an absolute shock, Leon Ruff managed to capture the NXT North American Championship by defeating Johnny Gargano. Now, we will get the rematch.

WWE has announced the rematch earlier today. Last week’s match was Ruff’s first title win in WWE and also his first win in general since debuting with WWE back in March. Here is the preview provided by WWE.com:

“Leon Ruff shocked the world and Johnny Gargano last week. Can he catch lightning in a bottle again and hold on to the NXT North American Championship?

Ruff will defend his newly won title against Gargano tomorrow night on NXT.

Despite admittedly rigging his own “Wheel of Challengers” to determine his opponent, Johnny Wrestling was unable to end his championship curse as Ruff pulled off one of the biggest upsets in the history of the black-and-gold brand.

After pleading his case, Gargano gets his chance to regain the championship gold. Will he become a three-time champion, or does Ruff simply have Gargano’s number?”

Gargano has only held the NXT North American Championship for very short periods of time. However, if he is able to defeat Leon Ruff, Ruff will then have the shortest recognized reign in the title’s history.
