Ranking the 10 Best NXT Matches of 2019

#6 Adam Cole vs. Johnny Gargano (NXT Takeover: XXV)

Johnny Gargano and Adam Cole had an epic rivalry in 2019. All 3 of their big matches were absolutely stellar, and even better, they were all great for different reasons. While we all knew it was coming eventually, this was to be the night that Johnny Wrestling's short reign would come to an end, and while that broke the hearts of the NXT fans that have followed him since 2015, Adam Cole is the perfect champion.

Since this match, Cole has led the Undisputed Era as the face of NXT, and it was on this fateful night that his amazing reign would finally begin (with the help of Strong, O'Reilly, and Fish of course). We'll get to their first match a little later, but it's worth watching every contest in this series, as they are all top quality, and if you had to choose one, it likely wouldn't be this, but it was still an amazing contest between two elite performers nonetheless.
