NXT kicked off with a short video in honor of Veteran's Day before North American champ Johnny Gargano was in the ring to spin the wheel. The wheel was clearly rigged and Leon Ruff was chosen as the 'winner'. Ruff was excited for the title shot and the match started soon after.
Johnny Gargano (c) vs. Leon Ruff - NXT North American Championship match
Ruff fell awkwardly as the match started and while he was fixing his ring gear, Gargano unloaded on him, taking him to the corner. Ruff came back with some hooks and a crossbody but was soon sent outside and into the barricades by the champ.
Damien Priest showed up on the other side of the barricades and Gargano taunted him. When Priest showed up on the open part of the stands, Gargano ran away in fear before almost getting rolled up in the ring for the three-count.
Ruff got a crucifix pin in the following struggle and picked up the win while Priest was watching and laughing from ringside.

Backstage, Priest gave Ruff the keys to his black Dodge Challenger and told him to run away before Gargano came after him. Ruff was gone by the time Johnny showed up and tried to argue with Priest and William Regal that the match wasn't sanctioned.
