Anyone else think LA Knight was going to take this home and then become North American Champ 24 hours later? Yes? No? Maybe? It doesn't matter anyway, 'cause Bronson Reed was the one handed the win in that 'Eliminator Gauntlet', and he'll challenge Johnny Gargano on night two.

Isaiah 'Swerve' Scott was another outside bet, and he actually looked the most likely the longer the match raged on. WWE backed Reed though, and they might go all the way with him against Gargano. There's a reason why you shouldn't rule that out: Bronson has been talking about "Big Boy Season" recently, and he's been building some serious momentum.

Gargano's time is up, Reed's time is now. Possibly.

It's nice to see WWE give a dude like Bronson such a steady push. He's just one or two wins away from becoming NXT's next breakout star, and that's a spot he's worked so, so hard for. Now, the 'E' just have to pull the trigger.
