During tonight's NXT Takeover: Vengeance Day pay-per-view, Johnny Gargano defeated Kushida to retain the NXT North American Title. 

The match started with Gargano off his game as Dexter Lumis quietly abducted Theory as The Way made their way to the ring.

Gargano sent Candice LeRae and Indi Hartwell to go find Theory having to deal with Kushida alone. He eventually hit One Final Beat on the entrance ramp and once again for the pin!

WHAT DID WE JUST WITNESS?!

Thanks to @DexterLumis lurking around, things aren't going #TheWay @JohnnyGargano had hoped before his match against @KUSHIDA_0904 for the #WWENXT North American Title at #NXTTakeOver: Vengeance Day! pic.twitter.com/gz99zE0xlM
