A major announcement was made during last night's NXT episode that NXT North American Champion Johnny Gargano will be defending his NXT North American Championship against Bronson Reed during next week's episode. The match announcement was made during the opening segment of last night's episode, where we saw NXT Champion Karrion Kross defeat Austin Theory while Johnny Gargano was watching from ringside.
The NXT North American Title Match set to take place on next week's show will be a rematch from Night Two of the NXT TakeOver: Stand And Deliver PPV Event, which saw Johnny Gargano retain his title after an interference from Austin Theory. Bronson Reed became the #1 Contender for Gargano's title after he defeated Theory on the April 27th episode of NXT.
