Ring Area<\/em><\/span>
\nJohnny Gargano heads to the ring. He says 2018 was a bit of a roller coaster, but he’s had some time to reflect over the holidays. Success in NXT is measured by wins and championships. It doesn’t matter how hard you try or if you’re a good person, it only matters if you win. In 2019, Johnny Gargano will become a champion.<\/p>\n

Gargano goes on to say that the moment he shared with Ciampa in the steel cage meant nothing. He still thinks Ciampa is a piece of trash with a title Johnny wants. But there is another championship out there. When Ciampa mentioned that Gargano could go after Ricochet’s title, Ricochet reacted first. Gargano says that if he wants the North American Title, he’ll take it. Ricochet heads to the ring.<\/p>\n

Ricochet tells Gargano that all he had to do was ask for a title shot. But Gargano is going to take it? How is he going to take it? Face to face, or with an attack from behind in a parking lot? Ricochet also comments on Gargano calling himself Johnny Takeover. Ricochet plans to retain his title at Takeover. Tommaso Ciampa comes out to the stage.<\/p>\n

Ciampa begins to talk, but Gargano tells him to shut up and leave. Aleister Black’s music plays, and Black appears on the video screen. Aleister tells Ciampa that he better be more worried about him than grooming his “dog of war.”<\/p>\n

The lights go out, and Black appears behind Ciampa. Black attacks, and he and Ciampa brawl over the announce table and to the backstage area. Back in the ring, Gargano superkicks Ricochet. Gargano leaves the ring area as Ricochet struggles to get back up.<\/p>\n
