#1: 2 Out of 3 Falls Match for the NXT Championship: Adam Cole vs. Johnny Gargano (NXT TakeOver: New York)

Johnny Gargano and Adam Cole wrestled for almost forty minutes.

Johnny Gargano and Adam Cole faced off for the NXT Championship after Tommaso Ciampa was forced to vacate the title due to injury. This was a perfect match that told a moving story. Johnny Gargano was the underdog who was hoping to redeem himself to the WWE Universe after his heel turn. It was a perfect choice to allow Adam Cole to get the first fall as it made the WWE Universe begin to doubt Johnny Gargano even more.

Johnny Wrestling also almost lost the second fall because he didn't want to win by count out. The third fall was the best fall of them all. One excellent counter was when Adam Cole countered the springboard spear into a superkick followed by a beautiful Panama Sunrise for a nearfall.

Johnny Gargano survived everything Adam Cole threw at him including A Fairy Tale Ending on the announce table (he barely made it back in the ring on time), multiple Last Shots, multiple superkicks, and interference from the rest of Undisputed Era to get a much-deserved title triumph.

Johnny Gargano was finally able to redeem himself after years of struggle with the Gargano Escape. The moment in the end with Candice LeRae, Johnny Gargano, and Tommaso Ciampa was a beautiful moment that symbolized the end of their story.
