9 HUGE WWE NXT TakeOver: WarGames 2020 Predictions You Need To Know
5. Leon Ruff (c) Vs. Johnny Gargano Vs. Damian Priest
This thing's f*cking great, and not to pair them together for the rest of time but it speaks to how ready Johnny Gargano was for DIY to finally come to an end that he's fared so brilliantly with a bit of freedom as a heel in contrast to Tommaso Ciampa.
The little sh*thouse won the North American Championship for the second time with the help of a wheel he'd sworn blind was against him. Then he lost it when he was daft enough to rig another to give Leon Ruff a chance. His promos make everything funnier and more engaging no matter what he's up to, but unlike Ruff's slender torso, there's lots of meat on the bone for the former NXT Champion to sink his teeth into.
Quite traditional in its intent, the whole thing has been surprisingly elevated by Damian Priest's move from the margins to the mix, too. He helped, then patronised Ruff on the newcomer's shock path to glory.
The feud's had everything. Meshing fun and serious business effortlessly, the contest has emerged as one of the best-booked Triple Threat matches in forever, and there's reasonable hope that the match should meet similar expectations.
The last of the magic will be Gargano getting one last go at Ruff, so expect Priest to take the fall here despite the best efforts of some Ghostfaces. Yes it's had Ghostfaces too. See? Everything.
Winner - Leon Ruff
