#7 Johnny Wrestling becomes Johnny Champion
For years now, Johnny Gargano has been the Heart and Soul of NXT (sorry Sami Zayn). Gargano has been consistently putting on the best matches and telling the best stories year-after-year, but this moment in New York topped them all. After a grueling 2-out-of-3 falls match with Adam Cole, Gargano overcame all the odds, including interference from The Undisputed Era, to claim the NXT Championship for the first time, cementing him as NXT's first Triple Crown winner.
As if this wasn't great and tear-jerking enough, Candice LeRae, Johnny's wife, came to celebrate. At the top of the entrance ramp, they were greeted by Tommaso Ciampa, and one couldn't help but feel all the emotions at that very moment. He would go on to have a short reign, losing the title to Cole at the next Takeover event, but given all he's done for NXT, this was a fantastic moment for Johnny Wrestling, and one that was thoroughly deserved.
