In case you didn't know...
It has been a fantastic story to watch on NXT ever since Ciampa returned from injury back in January, the former Tag Team Champion and his former best friend have been embroiled in a feud ever since, that has seen them collide in both New Orleans and Chicago.
Ciampa gained the bragging rights in their Chicago Street Fight a few weeks ago, before General Manager William Regal forced the two men to move onto new feuds and Ciampa set his sights on Aleister Black and the NXT Championship.
The heart of the matter
It could be argued that Ciampa is the most hated wrestler in WWE right now and in true Ciampa fashion, he was able to walk out with the NXT Championship after taking advantage of interference.
Johnny Gargano interfered in the match to attack his former friend but since the referee was already down, the match continued and Gargano went on to attack both Black and Ciampa, but Ciampa was the one who recovered in time and was able to equalize by pinning the NXT Champion.
After the show, Ciampa was asked about how he felt following his win, he went on to declare that he was "The greatest sports entertainer of all time" and that "NXT is now the A-show."
On the flip side of things, Gargano has already apologized for his involvement in the match and the shocking end result
What's next?
NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn is just weeks away and it will be interesting to see how Black and Gargano respond to these events in the weeks that follow.
