NXT North American Champion Johnny Gargano has officially reminded everyone why he's called Johnny TakeOver. On Stand & Deliver Night 2, Gargano defended his North American title against his biggest challenger yet (literally) in Bronson Reed.

The match was the sleeper hit of the evening. Coming out of nowhere, the two put on what could be argued to be the match of the night. This proves once again that Gargano may be the best TakeOver performer of all time.

It was hard to tell just how this match would go. Reed was coming off the huge Gauntlet Eliminator from Night 1. But this factored very little, as the two told more of a big man vs. little man story.

Gargano made Bronson look like a million bucks. The bout was easily the best in Bronson's NXT career due largely to Gargano's ability to give just as much as he takes. If this is how the Gargano Way puts on matches, Johnny's definitely onto something.
