NXT Champion Karrion Kross calls out Johnny Gargano
Karrion Kross and Scarlett made their way to the ring to call out Johnny Gargano for his attack earlier. Kross claimed that he didn't have the guts to do it face to face, but Johnny claimed he was no coward. Gargano said the ring was his world, and unlike Kross, he's got actual talent.
"You may be bigger than me, but everyone knows I'm smarter than you," said Gargano. At that moment, Austin Theory attacked Kross.
The Way laid into the champion, who easily shook off their attempt. Kross took Gargano to the floor and drove him repeatedly into the barricade. Before he could crush him with the steel steps, Samoa Joe and NXT security made the save.
As Kross was held back, Gargano rocked him with a superkick. Kross stood back up and confronted Joe, but didn't lay a hand on him.
