Johnny Gargano is heading to NXT TakeOver XXX after nearly losing his head in his last chance qualifier match.
Opening tonight's episode of NXT, Gargano defeated Ridge Holland in a match to determine the fourth participant in a ladder match set to crown a new North American Champion at TakeOver XXX. Though Gargano emerged victorious, there was a very scary moment in the match where he landed on his head, which caused the match to be stopped as Gargano was being tended to.
