NXT Match of the Year - Adam Cole vs. Johnny Gargano (NXT Takeover: New York) (Runner Up: Tyler Bate vs. Walter - NXT UK Takeover: Cardiff)

Johnny Wrestling has been NXT's best performer over the past few years, and while injuries kept him out of action and cost him a shot at Male Performer of the Year, he will sneak in and get the award for Match of the Year. Gargano has won NXT's Match of the Year in 2018 and 2016 (having 3 nominations but losing in 2017), and after a classic with Adam Cole, he should receive the award yet again in 2019.
This match was incredible, and by going Superman in the third fall of this contest, Johnny became NXT's first-ever Triple Crown winner, finally claiming the Championship he'd been chasing for 3 years. Ultimately, Cole went on to win this rivalry (we'll get to that), but on this night, Johnny Wrestling made us all believe again, proving that anything is possible with hard work.
