NXT TakeOver: Phoenix now has a title match announced for the event. On last night’s episode of NXT, it was announced that Tommaso Ciampa would defend his title against Aleister Black at the event. Last night’s NXT aired on the WWE Network, but was taped from Full Sail University in Winter Park, Florida on November 28th.
NXT General Manager William Regal made the announcement official on Twitter. He also revealed that, before the title fight between Black and Ciampa, Black will face Johnny Gargano in a Steel Cage match to settle their differences on next week’s episode of NXT:
“.@WWEAleister will face @ProjectCiampa at #NXTTakeOver Phoenix for the #NXTChampionship! And to square things away, @JohnnyGargano and @WWEAleister will get their matters settled in a #SteelCage Match in two weeks!”
