Ciampa invites Gargano to the ring before &#8220;remembering&#8221; that he&#8217;s not here tonight. Ciampa then talks about an injury he sustained just prior to Takeover and the talk of replacing him in the tag match on the show. He&#8217;s apparently angry about feeling like people would easily replace him.<\/p>\n<p>He goes on to say that he felt himself get injured on the Takeover Title match, but he put the pain aside so he could keep fighting for the crowd and his partner. Ciampa says that after DIY lost, he knew Gargano would immediately replace him. So he made a decision, a decision to make Gargano go away for a long time just like Ciampa will. And when Ciampa returns, he will be the most dangerous person in NXT.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Video<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nA promo package for Danny Burch.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Outside the Arena<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nEarlier today, Bobby Roode says he needs a glorious championship celebration, and he&#8217;ll have one when he returns next week.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Match 1<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>Danny Burch vs Pete Dunne<\/strong> (UK Champ)<br \/>\n(referee: Drake Wuertz)<\/p>\n<!-- Content Reveal v2.3.1 -->\n<div class=\"scrhead\" onmouseover=\"document.body.style.cursor='pointer'\" onmouseout=\"document.body.style.cursor='default'\" onclick=\"acr_swap_display('ran_69f257d5b5996','0','','')\">\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/simple-content-reveal\/images\/image1.gif\" class=\"scrimg\" id=\"scrimg_ran_69f257d5b5996\" alt=\"Reveal content\" title=\"Reveal content\"\/>');<\/script> Show\/Hide Results\n<\/div>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<div style=\"display: none\" class=\"scrdiv\" id=\"scrdiv_ran_69f257d5b5996\">');<\/script>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Result: Pete Dunne wins via pinfall after a Bitter End<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Time: 7:03<\/strong> (1 break)<\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<\/div>');<\/script>\n<!-- End of Content Reveal -->\n\n<p><strong>Match Thoughts<\/strong><br \/>\nGood match. Burch seemed to beat Dunne at his own game in this match. Not that Burch fought dirty, but he was extremely aggressive and managed to get the better of Dunne with strikes for a good part of the match. Dunne looked frustrated and a little like he couldn&#8217;t really get going for at least half of this bout (in character of course). It was a great showing for Burch, though in the end Dunne still looked like the better of the two. If only barely.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Ring Area<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nAfter the match, Pete Dunne gets on the mic and says he&#8217;s had to watch a &#8220;boy&#8221; carry the UK Title since January.
