#3 Adam Cole vs. Johnny Gargano (2 out of 3 falls for the Vacant NXT Championship)

Redemption and resolution
Redemption and resolution

Any of these last three matches could claim the number one spot for WrestleMania week, it was truly that good of a time. Hopefully, Florida commission or WWE come to their senses and let next year's event be the carnival that it is. If not we'll always have NXT to steal the weekend from the main roster.

Though curtailed by Tomasso Ciampa's injury, Adam Cole and Johnny Gargano promise to rip through Barclays in a blistering match and for the most part they deliver. The only criticism may come in the form of the structure of the thing, with the last fall really carrying the weight of most of the action. Yet one can forgive that, considering it may play a part in the long term disenssion withing Undispute ERA.

Either way, the real story here is of Gargano finally fulfilling his number one goal, capturing the championship. While revenge on Ciampa can wait (though the sweet ending might say otherwise), Gargano enters the match surprisingly on the back foot with fans all in on Cole instead of his redeemed babyface self.

It doesn't prove a detriment as Mr. Takeover through the quick two falls and the third laced with interference and Cole's egoistic heel tactics, once more becomes the hero. This all plays through perfectly as Gargano fights on a superhuman level to make Cole tap out twice and get the win, with a resounding cheer from an audience that was partisan a minute ago.

The icing on the cake, a touching celebration with family and possibly the now redeemed Tomasso Ciampa. Pain and grief have a way of healing old wounds and bringing a family together, to takeover!

Result: Johnny Gargano locks in the GargaNo Escape making Adam Cole tap out for a 2-1 win and becoming the NEW NXT Champion!
