NXT Television Report Card - August 1, 2018

Gargano fad
Gargano faded to black at the end of NXT...

#1 Tommaso Ciampa taunts the NXT Universe as the new NXT Champion / overall grade

T
Those chants that start with A from the NXT Universe are quite fitting for Ciampa...

Like it or not, Tommaso Ciampa is on top of the food chain at NXT, and he came out in the final segment to rub it into all that despise him (and that list is quite long).

After doing some gloating about becoming champion, Ciampa got in the face of the AWESOME white-haired lady who he's gotten into great verbal confrontations of the past. I loved how he decided to go talk to her in this promo.

Aleister Black would come out to confront Ciampa, but before he could reach the ring, Johnny Gargano sprinted down to attack Tommaso. Ciampa would escape, but when Gargano turned around, he ran right into a Fade To Black from Aleister.

This was a phenomenal closing segment for those in the NXT Championship picture.

GRADE: A


Overall, it was another excellent edition of NXT television. All of the non-squash matches were solid, and the final segment was tremendous to build excitement towards the NXT Championship at NXT Takeover: Brooklyn IV.

OVERALL GRADE: B+
