It seems highly unlikely, given the rumours that Tommaso Ciampa could be set to finally make a return and cost his friend the title, but technically it should be Gargano going after Ciampa not the other way around since Ciampa attacked him at Takeover: Chicago last year.
Gargano has been pushed to the top of the brand over the past few weeks and he has proved that he is capable of hanging with the likes of Andrade 'Cien' Almas. Gargano has also already been defeated by the Champion twice so he knows the threat that Zelina Vega is, at ringside, so it would be fantastic if Gargano decides to bring his wife with him to even the odds.
Even though many think that Almas will retain, a disqualification ending seems a little bit too much considering the number of run-ins that could happen on Saturday night. Gargano and Ciampa's feud deserves to be over the NXT Championship anyway.
