A blindside attack by Roderick Strong forced NXT Champion Johnny Gargano into the claws of Undisputed ERA last week, leading to a brutal beat down. While the unwarranted attack left Adam Cole pleased, the foursome’s de facto leader received a shock to his system when NXT General Manager William Regal announced that Gargano handpicked Strong as his opponent for this week’s grudge match. Although Cole continues to toss and turn over the NXT TakeOver: New York aftermath, Strong now finds himself in a unique position, where he can seize an opportunity that could surge his, if not the rest of Undisputed ERA’s, stock price.

On the other side of that fence, though, is a charged-up Gargano who is in his sharpest form to date as NXT Champion. With a target on his back, Johnny Champion appears to be focused on making an example out of Strong, Undisputed ERA and anyone else who steps to him with a challenge. Who’ll be the one to claim victory?
