A big mystery in WWE right now is who was the person that attacked Aleister Black? It has been a few months now and there still has not been a clear answer on who his attacker was.
That changed at Wednesday’s NXT taping. Warning, the rest of this post will feature spoilers for upcoming episodes of NXT. You have been warned.
During the taping, Johnny Gargano superkicked Aleister Black. After doing so, Gargano pulled his hood over his face and left. The insinuation at the taping was that Gargano was Black’s attacker a few months ago. Here are some photos from fans in attendance:

Looks like Gargano vs Black will be happening at Takeover (it wasn’t officially announced though).
On a related note, a big War Games match was announced for Takeover: War Games II. You can read more about that here.
