Johnny Gargano made his return to television during the finish of tonight’s Adam Cole vs. Finn Balor NXT Championship match.
Balor kicked out of the Last Shot and hit a clothesline, a shotgun dropkick, and the Coup de Grace on Cole near the end of the match. He was going for the 1916 DDT before being distracted by Gargano’s return. Cole then gave Balor a low blow and hit the Last Shot again to retain the NXT title.
Gargano attacked Balor with a steel chair in a post-match angle.
This was the first time Gargano appeared on TV since being attacked by Balor when Balor turned heel in October. He was supposed to face Balor at NXT TakeOver: WarGames, but WWE announced on November 12 that Gargano wouldn’t be cleared to wrestle on the show due to a neck injury. Balor defeated Matt Riddle at TakeOver instead.
Balor had become the number one contender to the NXT Championship by defeating Keith Lee and Tommaso Ciampa in a triple threat match last week.
