NXT is back in full swing once again, following Takeover: WarGames
#4 An explosive main event

When every element of sports entertainment comes together perfectly, the results are glorious
Bear in mind that until the match took place, we did not know who Kassius Ohno's mystery opponent was. We were informed that it would have been The Velveteen Dream, but the man sustained an injury at NXT Takeover: WarGames.

In his stead, Johnny Gargano stepped up to challenge Kassius Ohno. While it may have been a tad disappointing to see Gargano (after all, he's an active part of the roster, and not really a surprise, as one may have expected), fans knew that Ohno and Gargano could dish out a real belter.
From the opening bell, right up to the finish, every aspect of this match was picture perfect. Mauro Ranallo and Nigel McGuinness provided the soundtrack to this magnum opus of a match in supreme fashion (Percy Watson wasn't too bad either, in this case), and McGuinness even admitted that he had tears in his eyes at the conclusion of the contest.
Johnny Gargano may have won the contest on paper, but really, both men won.
