NXT Takeover: War Games II Report Card

Aleister Black vs Johnny Gargano

This was the best match of the night.

Result: Aleister Black defeats Johnny Gargano via pinfall with Black Mass.

Grade: A+

Analysis: What a match! These 2 superstars absolutely stole the show and had the best match of the night by far. This match was the hardest match to predict making the match even better. This match was hard hitting and the near falls and false finishes were simply excellent. It was interesting to see Johnny Gargano tease wanting Aleister Black to kick him. This shows that Johnny Gargano is starting to crave redemption. Aleister Black's words at the end of the match were also interesting. He said, "I absolve you of your sins" before knocking Johnny Gargano out with the Black Mass. Johnny Gargano was given the chance to redeem himself and it would be reasonable to predict that he manages to do so.

Meanwhile, Aleister Black will move on to face Tommaso Ciampa for the NXT Championship at some point in the future. This can be the ideal place for Johnny Gargano to redeem himself.
