"I'm right here"

Shifting focus to NXT now and one of the most interesting storylines that the NXT creative has been building for the past few months: Aleister Black's mystery attacker.

After losing the NXT Championship in shocking fashion to Tommaso Ciampa on the 25 July episode of NXT, thanks to an inadvertent strike from Gargano, Aleister Black was later attacked in a car-park by a mystery assailant and written off television for two months.

This all took place On 8th August 2018 when Black finally got a shot at revenge against Johnny Gargano in singles competition. However, Black would never make the match, with NXT officials finding him unconscious in the parking lot, setting off one of the best WWE mysteries in recent memory.

Due to the attack, not only did Black lose his shot at the NXT Championship but the NXT Universe also became curious as to who the mystery attacker was. After two months off television, Black finally made his televised return on October 17th and quickly discovered that it was in-fact, Johnny Gargano who had attacked him.

Gargano, who till this point was considered as one of the purest babyfaces in WWE history, had turned heel and shocked the entire WWE Universe in the process as well.
