- Earlier today, Tommaso Ciampa showed up at the arena to a chorus of boos. He's asked how he's feeling by WWE cameras and doesn't answer. He catches up with with William Regal and asks him what kind of place is he running here. He says Johnny Gargano needs to be dealt with for attacking him and showing up at his own house. Regal says it will be Tommaso Ciampa and Johnny Gargano in an unsanctioned match at NXT TakeOver: New Orleans. If Gargano wins, he'll be back in NXT, if Ciampa wins then Gargano is banished from NXT forever.
