Ciampa brags on how Gargano is gone and will never be coming back to NXT. Ciampa takes it all in and is loving the heat. He goes to leave but stops to tear up some of the fan signs that were handed out, causing one younger girl to cry. Gargano suddenly attacks Ciampa from the crowd for a major pop.

General Manager William Regal comes out and announces a Triple Threat Tag Team match for “Takeover: New Orleans” with the winners becoming the new NXT Tag Team Champions and the winners of The Dusty Classic
* Ricochet defeated Chris Dijak in his debut
Opinion: Well that works. I’m not sure on having another title added but it’s a good idea to have some of these big names making their debut on the show. There are a lot of people who need to be involved and these choices get us there. If the show is as good as it sounds, everything is going to be great.
