Let's face it. As much as we love Johnny Gargano, he seems like an underdog in a match also featuring Lars Sullivan, Killian Dain and Aleister Black. Yet, he emerged victorious through the rubble and ruin. And he will take on NXT Champion Andrade 'Cien' Almas for the title.

Many cast doubts this week over whether or not Johnny Gargano deserved to be in the spot he was in. The Velveteen Dream was one of them. Andrade 'Cien' Almas' business associate Zelina Vega, was the other!

We wonder if Tommaso Ciampa will show up during the big title match. It would kick the rivalry that could have been the feud of the year, if not for Ciampa's injury, into high gear again.
