Johnny Wrestling is arguably one of the ten best wrestlers in the world today. He recently had a string of matches which stole shows, including five-star classics against Andrade 'Cien' Almas at NXT TakeOver: Philadelphia, and against rival Tommaso Ciampa at NXT TakeOver: New Orleans.

He recently turned heel, and he could be staying down at NXT for a longer period of time. Gargano is a complete package, with his size the only problem.

He isn't a guy Vince McMahon would love, which could mean he ends up with the cruiserweights. Getting called up to the main roster along with other NXT stars like Ciampa, Adam Cole, and Aleister Black will surely hurt his chances of getting any kind of push.

The 31-year-old superstar's floor could be Sami Zayn's treatment on the main roster, while his ceiling is that of Daniel Bryan's. Like Bryan, Gargano is the ultimate underdog babyface character who wants to win the big one despite his size.
