One of the longest-tenured NXT superstars in history, Johnny Wrestling has achieved everything in NXT, except winning the NXT Championship. The Ohio-native has previously challenged for the top prize on multiple occasions but came up short. Gargano was initially supposed to face his friend-turned-foe, Tomasso Ciampa for the NXT Championship at NXT Takeover: New York.

But the Blackheart suffered neck injury which required surgery and he had to relinquish 'Goldie', thereby putting an abrupt end to one of the best WWE feuds of the last decade. Gargano defeating Ciampa and winning the NXT Championship would've been a fairytale ending to a two-year long feud. But as they say, all stories don't have a fairytale ending.

Gargano would instead face Adam Cole in a two out of three falls match for the vacant NXT Championship. Although Gargano has already debuted on the main roster, NXT is where the Rebelheart truly shines. It would be a travesty for Gargano to come up to the main roster without ever having won the NXT Championship. Gargano finally winning the NXT Championship despite the numerous roadblocks he has faced over the years will be a perfect way to cap off the biggest show in NXT history.
