WWE NXT has announced that Johnny Gargano will defend the NXT North American Championship inside of a steel cage on next Tuesday’s episode of NXT live on USA.
Reed defeated The Way’s Austin Theory two weeks ago to get the title shot against Gargano.
There was an angle backstage during Tuesday night’s show where Gargano and Theory had attacked Reed backstage. Later in the evening, Reed cut a promo announcing that WWE NXT General Manager William Regal agreed to make next Tuesday’s North American Championship Match a steel cage match.
Also announced for next week’s show is Zoey Stark vs. Toni Storm.
