Johnny Gargano: Ranking every NXT TakeOver match in his career

#6 TakeOver: Phoenix vs. Ricochet (NXT North American Championship)

The fans were in for an absolute treat

For years now, Johnny Gargano and Ricochet have been considered two of the best wrestlers in the world, so when they clashed over Royal Rumble weekend early in 2019, fans knew they were in for an absolute treat.

Despite the pace the heel Gargano was working at, he had to keep up with The One and Only throughout the night, and as the bout crescendoed, the contest truly reached fever pitch.

Being just a few months into his reign as Champion, no one expected Johnny Gargano to dethrone The Future of Flight, but using two brutal attacks to the head and neck of Ricochet, Johnny Wrestling was able to become North American Champion.

While it isn't the best match in NXT for either performer, it was fantastic from beginning to end,and allowed both men to show off their wide array of skills, and it's one we won't forget anytime soon.
