Johnny Gargano was a surprise entrant in a gauntlet eliminator
match to determine the number one contender for the NXT North
American title last night on the NXT on The CW.
The first two in the match had Shiloh Hill vs Jackson Drake
and then Dion Lennox and Charlie Dempsey followed as entrants.
The fifth and final entrant was the former NXT champion, who
got a big pop from the WWE PC crowd.
And thanks to a “push” from his wife Candice LeRae, it was
Gargano who came out on top in the match, defeating Hill to
become the number one contender.
Gargano will now be facing Myles Borne for the title at the
NXT Stand & Deliver premium live event.
