Johnny Gargano and Austin Theory interrupted an interview with Leon Ruff and McKenzie. Damian Priest was supposed to team with him to take on Gargano and Theory next week, but he'll clearly be too injured to be there.
Not to worry, though, because Kushida was there to join Ruff. Kushida and Ruff will now face Theory and Gargano next week on NXT.
