Last weekend WWE took over Philadelphia, and on Saturday night the stars of NXT got their chance to shine at NXT Takeover.
The event was loaded with great matches, but many fans feel that Andrade “Cien” Almas and Johnny Gargano stole the show in the main event. Gargano put up a good fight, and the fans were clearly behind him, but in the end he didn’t win the NXT Championship.
During a recent episode of his X-Pac 12360 show, Sean Waltman talked about the match, and he revealed what Triple H told him about Gargano when it was all over.
“It was heartbreaking when he (Johnny Gargano) didn’t win. It was. It sucked, but it was so good. And Hunter (Triple H) told me, I hit him up afterward and he was like, ‘Yeah Gargano is the last of the white meat babyfaces.’ And that’s pretty much true right now. Not that there can’t be any more you know? But as far as what we have to choose from right now he’s the guy that kind of fits that. I don’t really see anyone else.”
Waltman also spoke about the return of the XFL, and he noted that he doesn’t think it’s something that people should just write off this time around.
“Well, I knew it was going to happen when Vince (McMahon) sold a bunch of stock, couple hundred million dollars in stock and started an LLC. They’ve given themselves two years to get this off the ground and last time they had two months. And I don’t think it’s a good idea to bet against this working. We just have to wait and see what happens. I’m just saying there is an appetite for that right now.”
