Kross and Gargano have been feuding for several weeks now. Tonight's NXT Great American Bash special saw Regal and Joe oversee a face-off between Kross and Gargano, where the match was made official. Kross mentioned during the segment that he thinks of three things when he wakes up every day – never lose the NXT Title, one day main event WrestleMania, and one day become WWE Champion.

Kross has worked several RAW and SmackDown dark matches as of late as a way for officials to get a better look at him. He is rumored for a main roster call-up in the near future.

Stay tuned for more on Gargano vs. Kross, and next week's NXT show. Below are a few shot from tonight's face-off at the Great American Bash:
