Friends, pals, and acquaintances, I come bearing wonderful news. Yes, there is a pandemic that continues to ravage the country and the world, but nevertheless, NXT returns to our literal hearts this Sunday with the horrendously, yet perfectly, named Vengeance Day.
It is imperative that whenever you see the words Vengeance Day, you read it in your finest Vince McMahon voice. VENGEANCE DAY is here, complete with having a useless ‘a’ that makes it impossible for me to spell correctly. It also fills me with a yearning for the remarkable and perfect WCW/NWO Revenge more today than ever before. What a game. Surpassing the sterling quality of its predecessor WCW World Tour, Revenge was a Nintendo 64 fixture in the musty basements of my shockingly abstinent teenage years. I’ll always love you intensely with a fire that burns.always.
NXT TakeOver: Vengeance Day Championship Match Possibly Canceled
NXT TakeOver: Vengeance Day card is supposed to feature an NXT North American Championship match between Johnny Gargano and Kushida. But unfortunately, according to Austin Theory, the match might not be happening. Theory posted a video on Tuesday night from his car, claiming that the leader of The Way was now unable to compete and that he d be getting revenge on Kushida on this week s NXT.
Last week s show saw Gargano get thrown out of a match between Theory and Leon Ruff, then brawl his way through the backstage area with Kushida after learning about their match. That fight ended with Kushida punting Gargano s left arm.
