Grading This Week's Episode of NXT (10/3/18)

#2 Johnny Gargano vs Tony Nese

Johnny Gargano finally got back on track.

Result: Johnny Gargano defeated Tony Nese via submission with the Gargano Escape.

Grade: A

Analysis: This was a great match. Tony Nese is an extremely talented wrestler who does not have a lot of opportunities to prove himself on 205 Live. He showed off his athleticism and raw power. He really deserves a push as he is really talented and can steal the show if given the chance. It is great to see Johnny Gargano back as himself on NXT. He has been going through an identity crisis lately but it was Johnny Wrestling that took on Tony Nese. He got a much-needed victory and will move on and potentially face Tommaso Ciampa at NXT Takeover: War Games 2.
