Johnny Gargano Forced To Leave NXT (Photos / Video)

Johnny Gargano’s NXT career appears to be over as a result of losing his title match against Andrade Cien Almas on tonight’s episode of NXT.

Gargano put his career on the line to get the title shot, but it ended up backfiring after Tommaso Ciampa made his presence felt in the final moments of the match. A referee bump in the corner gave Ciampa an opportunity to run-in and attack from behind, hitting his former friend over the back with his crutch. After Ciampa left, Almas used the opportunity to hit a hammerlock DDT to not only retain his title, but ensure his issues with Gargano were over.

Gargano made his way up to the stage and said goodbye to the fans, but Ciampa added insult to injury as he reappeared and waved goodbye, complete with a smile on his face.
