Johnny Gargano's rage consumed him 𝐆again, allowing Tommaso Ciampa to outsmart his former tag partner to remain NXT champion.
Ciampa outlasted Gargano in a brutal last man standing match at NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn 4, rolling off the stage and onto his feet before the cou🍌nt of 10. Meanwhile, Gargano remained d🌳own and out after crashing into production equipment knee first.
Here's a look at the final moments from our live coverage:
Johnny sends Ciampa into the LED board on the stage before Johnny locks in the Gargano Escape and handcuffs Ciampa to a grate on the stage and smashes his head into it repeatedly before superkicking him. Johnny superkicks Ciampa repeatedly before hittingꩵ a running knee attack that sends Johnny off of the stage.
Ciampa then manages to fall off of the stage landing on his feet, Gargano being unable to stand a🐓nd answer the ten count, Ciamp🐟a retaining his NXT Championship in the process.
The match was♏ a brutal affair, as you would expect given the 💧rivalry between the two men.
In the end, Ciampa exited ✱the same way he entered.
