Johnny Gargano will unfortunately not be Johnny Takeover this weekend.
Gargano's partner in The Way stated in a Twitter video Tuesday night that Gargano will not be defending his NXT North American Championship against Kushida as planned.
"I just left Johnny's house, and I can't hold this in anymore. Johnny's out of Takeover. Johnny will not be there, and it's all because of you, Kushida. I always have a smile on my face, but it's time to be serious. I'm not playing around. Tomorrow night on NXT, Kushida, you will pay," said Theory.
No Johnny Takeover this Sunday, but tomorrow night @KUSHIDA_0904 , you’re gonna pay because that’s THE WAY!!!” pic.twitter.com/3VdLEcksGx
