![]() Johnny Gargano is placed on indefinite suspension. Regal comes out to the ring at Full Sail University in two weeks and announces that because of Gargano's actions towards officials in Chicago, not to mention towards a helpless and handcuffed Ciampa at one point, there is only one course of action to be taken. This happened at least three times throughout the match and, though NXT Commissioner William Regal doesn't flex the authority muscle often, this is a time where it can and should happen. In this particular case, while Ciampa was receiving medical attention after going through a table, Gargano put his hands on officials and referees alike despite their pleas for him to leave Ciampa be. Even though this was a Chicago Street Fight with no disqualifications, there are still more rules and regulations in place compared to an Unsanctioned Match where literally anything goes. Rather, think of Gargano's actions last night. Sure, he too can enter the title picture and become a top contender if NXT's creative team feels so inclined, but that move doesn't make sense just yet. Booking Gargano, on the other hand, is a bit tougher. Like his feud with Gargano, one with Black could be something that lasts a few months and keeps the NXT Universe on its toes. Ciampa could and should challenge Black for the NXT Championship at NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn in August and, win or lose, get even more over than he is now. Not only that, he's still a little rough on the mic and could use some extra time with NXT to refine that area of his game.įortunately, as we break from tradition and enter the world of fantasy booking once again, I have some ideas as to how this feud can continue and not lose momentum. There really isn't a place to put him except on 205 Live and though he won fans over in the Cruiserweight Classic two years ago, the man known as Johnny Wrestling is too good to be pigeonholed into one division. While Ciampa is more than ready for a run as the brand's top heel, especially in the title picture, Gargano is nowhere near ready for the main roster. The next logical step would appear to be sending Gargano up to the main roster while Ciampa remains in NXT and makes a run at Aleister Black's NXT Championship, but that's only half of the right thing to do. With Ciampa going over, that puts the scorecard at one win apiece for each man in this feud. It had the history of Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn's match at Battleground 2016 combined with the A-plus storytelling of Michaels and Triple H's own Unsanctioned Street Fight at SummerSlam 2002. Now, let's go back to their match last night. Think of Daniel Bryan, but even more of an indie darling, if that's even possible. Where Michaels was the traditionally undersized hero with the heart of a fighter and rockstar swagger, Gargano is the never-ending underdog who never goes down easy no matter what the odds. ![]() Whereas Triple H in his prime was and still is the Cerebral Assassin, Ciampa has embraced the moniker of the Psycho Killer. Just watching last night's match alone, it's clear that both Gargano and Ciampa have been working extensively with two former legends and NXT bigwigs, Triple H and Shawn Michaels. ![]()
