WWE NXT: Finn Balor attacks Johnny Gargano

It all started when Roderick Strong won the NXT North American title by defeating Keith Lee and Dominik Dijakovic in October. After Strong’s win, all the members of The Undisputed Era came to the ring and celebrated with the winner. Later, all the members started punishing Lee and Dijakovic by delivering kicks and punches. After seeing the wrestlers being brutalised by the ERA, Tommaso Ciampa and Johnny Gargano came to the ring for help.

The duo saved Lee and Dijakovic and turned to The Undisputed ERA. When it looked like the fight is going to go down between the two teams, Finn Balor arrived at the scene. Balor came to the ring and stood next to Gargano. To fans, it looked like the trio of Balor, Gargano and Ciampa are going to fight the ERA, but that didn’t happen. Balor stunned the WWE Universe when he hit Gargano on the nose with a Pele Kick, leaving The Undisputed ERA free to brutalise Ciampa. Finn Balor then sent Gargano flying to the ringside barricade by delivering a thunderous dropkick. Later, a video released by NXT showed an unconscious Gargano being taken to a hospital. Since then, Johnny Gargano has not appeared in NXT.
