A major topic over the past week or so has been the news of the injury to Aleister Black. Black had surgery and his status for NXT Takeover: Brooklyn 4 has been unclear. Black was originally planned to face Tommaso Ciampa and Johnny Gargano in a triple threat match for the NXT Championship.
A new report suggests that the match is going to be changed.
Mike Johnson of PWInsider reports that as of right now, Black isn’t expected to be cleared for Takeover after having surgery to repair a groin injury.
Johnson says that Black isn’t even expected to be at the Takeover event.
Barring any changes, it looks like Gargano vs. Ciampa for the NXT Championship will headline the event. Here is the updated card if Gargano vs Ciampa happens:
- Tommaso Ciampa vs. Johnny Gargano – NXT Championship
- Shayna Baszler vs. Kairi Sane – NXT Women’s Championship
- Adam Cole vs. Ricochet – NXT North American Championship
- The Undisputed ERA vs. Moustache Mountain – NXT Tag Team Championship
- EC3 vs. Velveteen Dream
