Damian Priest teamed up with Leon Ruff to take on Legado del Fantasma in the first match of NXT this week. Priest will be one of the two men who will challenge Ruff for the NXT North American Championship at TakeOver: WarGames in a Triple Threat Match.

Santos Escobar looked to make a statement as he worked on Ruff early in the match. However, after Priest tagged himself in, Escobar immediately brought Raul Mendoza in to face the biggest man in the match.

A figure in a ghost mask appeared to distract The Archer of Infamy, and Legado del Fantasma got a chance to gain back control. Johnny Gargano, who was on commentary for the match, was questioned about how many Ghostfaces existed.

Ruff got back into the match and managed to take down Mendoza and Escobar to gain some momentum for his team. Priest cleaned the house, and Ruff finally hit a big splash to pick up the win for his team.

This was a decent match that allowed Ruff to score another pinfall on a major NXT Superstar before his first TakeOver match. The victory could be a sign that he will come out victorious at WarGames.
