8 Ups And 1 Down For WWE NXT (May 11)

2. Bronson Reed Gets Johnny In A Cage

It was revealed earlier in the night that Johnny Gargano would be defending his North American Championship against Bronson Reed next week in response to the challenger overcoming Austin Theory a few weeks ago.

Clearly vexed at the idea of having to actually, you know, defend his title, Gargano blasted Regal's decision to book the contest before later jumping his future opponent with Austin Theory in the locker room. This seemingly intelligent move, taking some of the sting out of Reed a week out from their match, soon came back to haunt Johnny Wrestling though as the colossal star eventually revealed that the two would now meet inside of a steel cage.

With nowhere to go and (hopefully) no way for The Way to help the champ once he's locked inside of the structure with his challenger, could this signal the end of Gargano's title run? Reed has been well positioned to take the belt for some time now. So if NXT don't pull the trigger in a week's time, when the numbers game may finally be taken out of the equation, it begs the question; who could realistically take away The Way leader's belt?

Indeed, we need Reed to succeed...
