Can Johnny Gargano persevere as a singles superstar?
In many ways, Johnny Gargano is the heart of the NXT Universe right now. He embodies the #DIY spirit that NXT has made its own. Even though he is the underdog more often than not, the crowd always gets behind him. With Tommaso Ciampa on the shelf, Gargano has a chance to really establish himself as a singles Superstar and maybe even a future NXT Champion.

Thankfully, this isn't Raw and he isn't William Regal's long lost son. Next week should be a great litmus test for Gargano as he faces Mendoza in singles competition, possibly to establish himself as a serious contender in the singles division.
