10 Wrestling Facts We Didn't Know Last Week (May 26)

9. MITB Plans Forced A Change To NXT Booking

WWE would probably like everyone to believe that they plan storylines six months in advance, know exactly where everyone on the roster is headed and are super-organised. In reality, things are a bit different. That's why Tommaso Ciampa and Johnny Gargano have been forced to change their match at NXT TakeOver: Chicago II.

According to comments made in the Wrestling Observer, Ciampa and Gargano were supposed to have a Last Man Standing Match on 16 June at TakeOver. Of course, AJ Styles and Shinsuke Nakamura will now work the same stipulation at Money In The Bank a mere 24 hours later.

That meant NXT's writers had to fold and come up with something else.

Ciampa vs. Gargano II will now be billed as a "Chicago Street Fight". Though this isn't a disaster, the Last Man Standing gimmick did suit their blood feud better than AJ vs. Nakamura. Oh well, at least they have another gimmick to fall back on.
