A brand new NXT TakeOver is nearly upon us, as the company is set to host another must-see event early next month. Ahead of that, though, NXT has confirmed that Damian Priest will defend his NXT North American Championship against Johnny Gargano during the pay-per-view.
Just a few weeks removed from winning the title, Priest is ready to begin living in infamy as the North American Champion, and that means defending the belt against some of NXT’s best superstars. Gargano will be one of the first to get his shot at the belt, as he continues to try and mold NXT in his image, with William Regal announcing the match on social media earlier Wednesday.
Priest has already defended his title against Timothy Thatcher in a big victory, but will now have to take on the man he defeated at TakeOver XXX in order to defend it again. Needless to say, this will be a huge match and one of the biggest contests when NXT TakeOver kicks off on October 4, 2020.
One of @WWENXT’s rising stars vs. arguably the most consistent performer on the black and gold brand.
