Johnny Wrestling agreed to face The Velveteen Dream
Johnny Gargano has always been the underdog. Nobody expected him to be in the main event of NXT Takeover: Philadelphia at all. And yet, he'll be challenging Andrade 'Cien' Almas for the big prize. That hasn't stopped his detractors.

The Velveteen Dream reminded Gargano that he wasn't even supposed to be in contention. This week, Zelina Vega also reminded William Regal that The Velveteen Dream had a valid claim for the big spot. She urged William Regal to take the necessary steps.
When Regal wouldn't do so, Johnny Wrestling came to the ring himself. He put up his 'Number 1 Contender' spot up against The Velveteen Dream, next week.
Will we see The Velveteen Dream cause an upset and move on to the main event of NXT Takeover: Philadelphia then?
