WWE NXT TakeOver: WarGames: Mystery man revealed, Johnny Gargano wins NXT North American Championship
Leon Ruff put his WWE NXT North American Championship on the line against Johnny Gargano and Damian Priest at NXT TakeOver: WarGames. This time, Ruff was not going to have help from Priest.
Gargano tried for an early win as Priest was knocked out of the ring but Ruff hit some impressive moved of his own to prove that he is not a joke. Priest kept warning Ruff to get out of the way but Ruff kept coming at him. Priest then hit a Razor’s Edge on Ruff through the barricade at ringside. Priest felt bad as the referees took Ruff away to the back. Ruff got back into the match a couple of minutes later and he took out both men, who were exhausted by this point.
Late in the match, three people dressed in Scream masks went in the ring to attack Priest but Preist fought them off and he took them out with a dive on them to the outside. Priest hit Gargano with a chokeslam on the ring apron and then Ruff quickly hit a splash and then tried for a pin attempt but Priest barely got in the ring to break up the pin.
Priest almost had the match won but another Scream masked person appeared and that person hit Priest with a pipe. Gargano then won the match by pinning Ruff after hitting the One Final Beat DDT. The mystery men were referred to as the army of ghost faces by the announcers. Austin Theory revealed that he was one of the ghost faced men.
