The 2-Out-Of-3 Falls Main Event at last night’s NXT TakeOver: Toronto II PPV Special for The NXT Title saw NXT Champion Adam Cole come out on top and retain his NXT Championship Belt.
The main event that lasted for almost an hour saw NXT Champion Adam Cole secure a victory in the first fall, which was a Classic Old School Wrestling Match. The second fall, which was a Street Fight, was then won by Johnny Gargano. The third and final fall, which was a Steel Cage Match that featured a number of weapons attached to the cage, was won by NXT Champion Adam Cole.
After last night’s NXT TakeOver: Toronto II PPV Special went off the air, Johnny Gargano, who was joined by his wife Candice LeRae, received a standing ovation and a “thank you Johnny!” chant from the crowd inside The Scotiabank Arena. Gargano then posed for the fans and was met by NXT General Manager William Regal on the stage. Regal then spoke to Gargano and raised his arm in the air.
There is no word yet on what WWE has planned next for Johnny Gargano after his lost to NXT Champion Adam Cole and if he will remain in NXT or be moved to the main roster for a full-time run with either Monday Night RAW or SmackDown LIVE, but more information will be provided once it is made available.
