This week’s episode of WWE NXT kicked off with Johnny Gargano taking on Ridge Holland. The match included Gargano taking a scary-looking bump on the back of his head.
Gargano was clearly dazed but he continued on with the match and he ended up getting the win to advance to the Five-Way North American Championship match at TakeOver: XXX.
The bump was shown but the match was edited to remove the part where trainers and officials like Shawn Michaels and Triple H went out to the ring to check on Gargano.
As noted last week, there was a pause in the action as he was being checked and Gargano actually apologized for causing the match to be stopped. He was checked on again by trainers when he got backstage and apparently, he is good to go for TakerOver: XXX on Saturday night.
Here is a clip of the scary-looking bump:
