7 Ups And 0 Downs From WWE NXT Great American Bash (Jul 6)

6. Kross And Gargano Are Joined By A Special Guest

Wasting absolutely no time getting right down to the nitty-gritty, William Regal and Samoa Joe ordered NXT Champion Karrion Kross and Johnny Gargano to the ring so that the two fo them could address the pair's ongoing back-and-forth.

As you likely guessed, it didn't take long for Johnny Wrestling to get under the bringer of Doomsday's skin, letting him know that he sucked and that he was terrified of being exposed by the top class worker. Thankfully, we won't have to wait too long to find out whether or not this is the case as Regal promptly confirmed that the two will clash over the NXT Championship next week.

Before things could boil over even more, the General Manager then added an extra detail to the rival's upcoming showdown as Joe was enlisted as the special guest referee for this battle over the brand's top strap. All talk of wife's jeans, boots, and what the pair's morning routines are aside, Gargano will no doubt bring the best out of Kross on next week's show and could act as another impressive notch on an already majestic belt.

If Joe's intervention late in the day as Kross looked to get a few last-minute shots in on his future opponent was anything to go by, as well, expect the Samoan Submission Machine to run a tight ship and perhaps even be provoked to the point of costing the champ his prized possession. Last week taught us that no champ is safe in the land of NXT, and that includes its top dog.
