Next NXT Special And Main Event Announced

*Spoiler Warning for Future NXT Shows Below*
It was announced during tonight’s NXT tapings that cover the next month’s worth of programming the next NXT: Takeover special and the main event of that show was determined. It was announced that the next NXT Takeover Special would be in Philidelphia on January 27. This is to tie into the Royal Rumble event being held the next night in the same city.
It was then announced that Drew MacIntyre was injured and would not be able to have his rematch so a small tournament took place with four qualifying matches leading to a fatal 4-way match to determine the new number one contender. Johnny “Mr. Wrestling” Gargano won the whole thing and will face NXT champion “Cien” Almas. Gargano had earlier faced Kassius Ohno in what was described as an “incredible match”. He then advanced to the fatal 4-way match that was taped to air on the December 27th episode of NXT. The match also involved Killian Dain, Lars Sullivan, and Aleister Black who had won their earlier matches as well.

Those tapings also saw the final NXT appearances of Ruby Riot and Sonya Deville and a tag title match with the Sanity team of Killian Dane and Eric Young facing The Undisputed Era team of Bobby Fish and Kyle O’Reilly for the NXT Tag Titles.
The tapings were filmed for the NXT shows between December 6 and December 27.
