NXT WarGames 2021 instant analysis, results, grades: Johnny Gargano's farewell?

Getting Over: Wrestling Podcast

Just minutes after NXT WarGames 2021 went off the air, host Adam Silverstein jumped on the mic to break down the first special event of the NXT 2.0 era. With TakeOvers now a thing of the past, NXT focused on building its young talent in a set of five matches against veterans of the black and gold era. "The Silver King" discusses each match by diving into the results before providing grades and looking ahead at what's next. The men's WarGames match was perfectly booked with Johnny Gargano's potential departure serving as the top storyline, while the women's WarGames match featured some big spots but ultimately presented a clunky finish despite one of the best injury sell jobs of the year from Cora Jade. Imperium vs. Kyle O'Reilly & Von Wagner for the NXT tag team titles surprised as Fabian Aichner had his breakout moment in what may be O'Reilly's penultimate match in WWE. Plus, has Adam finally come around to LA Knight? And late-breaking news on Jeff Hardy. Follow Getting Over on Twitter @GettingOverCast.
