A 12 man what-the-WHAT now?
In a match easily as convoluted as TNA’s reverse battle royal, William Regal announced a 12 man gauntlet for NXT this week. Once the first six men are eliminated, the last six fight for the right to enter a gauntlet match next week. The order they are eliminated is the order of entry, so the sixth man out has to go first at Takeover and vice versa. The winner of the gauntlet gets Johnny Gargano for the North American title on the SECOND night of Takeover. Got it? Good. Now here’s what happened in our main event.
Before challenging for Io Shirai s NXT Women s Championship at TakeOver Stand & Deliver, Raquel Gonzalez will be in action on NXT tonight.
