#2. LA Knight picked up a big victory over Johnny Gargano on WWE NXT
Indi Hartwell wanted Johnny Gargano to give Dexter Lumis a chance on WWE NXT. Gargano did not look to be in favor of the idea but reluctantly accepted Lumis to accompany him to the ring for the time being.
Both Lumis and Hartwell accompanied him out for his match against LA Knight on NXT. The two men nearly high-fived in the ring before Gargano realized he was not next to Austin Theory.
Knight took control of the match early and delivered some good moves to slow down the former NXT Champion. Gargano fought back and used his experience to his advantage for some time.
A slingshot spear nearly earned Gargano the victory, but LA Knight kicked out just in time. Johnny Wrestling tried to hit One Final Beat, but an uppercut from Knight sent him right into Lumis’ arms. The distractions allowed the former Million Dollar Champion to hit the BFT for the win.
LA Knight needed to pick up a victory after ending his rivalry with Cameron Grimes. This was a good match that allowed him to showcase his talent against a former top champion.
Meanwhile, the storyline between Gargano and Lumis keeps getting more interesting.
