Ring Area<\/em><\/span>
\nAdam Cole heads to the ring. Cole asks Johnny Gargano to come down to the ring so he can see in person what he’s in store for at Takeover: New York. Gargano heads to the ring.<\/p>\n

The crowd does a dueling chant for Cole and Gargano for what seems like an hour. Cole says he doesn’t need anyone’s support. Gargano says he likes the “Johnny Wrestling” chant. Gargano also wants to hear the one million reasons Cole has for why he’s going to win. Gargano doesn’t let Cole speak. Instead, Gargano continues, saying that Cole will in for the fight of his life at Takeover.<\/p>\n

Cole wonders if he’s supposed to be intimidated. He reminds Gargano that he hasn’t won many of his Takeover matches. Cole, on the other hand, has had many great moments at Takeovers. Cole thinks it’s fitting that he’ll be returning to Barclays Center when he beats Gargano and finally becomes the NXT champ.<\/p>\n

Gargano says he didn’t get the red carpet treatment like Cole did. Gargano was told “no” in his first tryout. He was told he wasn’t good enough, and he’s heard that repeatedly for fifteen years. Gargano has fought for every chance he’s gotten. He talks about competing in NXT for months without even having a contract. Johnny fights for everyone who has ever been told hat their dream won’t come true. He has earned everything he’s ever gotten. NXT is his life, and he will finally become NXT Champ in New York.<\/p>\n

As Cole leaves, he tells Gargano that he can fight all he wants, but Cole will be leaving as champ. Why? Because the NXT Title match will be undisputed (as he says this, Strong, O’Reilly, and Fish come out to the stage).<\/p>\n
