On this week’s episode of NXT, William Regal announced a triple threat match for NXT Takeover: Brooklyn 4. Tommaso Ciampa will defend his NXT Championship against Aleister Black and Johnny Gargano. Or so we thought.
Unfortunately, the match won’t be happening due to injury.
Both @Wrestlevotes and PWInsider reported on Wednesday that Black is going to be missing Takeover after suffering a groin injury. That means Black vs Ciampa vs Gargano is going to end up getting changed.
Ryan Satin of Pro Wrestling Sheet also reports that Black will likely be out until around October as he recovers from the surgery.
WWE officially wrote Black out of the match in a video. He was found unconscious in the parking lot:
