#2 Johnny Gargano

After years and years of scratching and clawing, Johnny Gargano has finally reached the top of the mountain, and now that NXT is his to rule, there's plenty of incredible matches to be had in the coming year.
Johnny has become the most well-rounded performer in the entire company, and with Kushida's years of experience, the two could put on an absolute classic, and if Kushida is pushed properly, this could happen sooner, rather than later.
Johnny Wrestling currently has his hands quite full with The Undisputed Era, and beyond that, there are many challengers for him, but Kushida has to be considered a contender straight out of the blocks.
Out of everyone on this list, Johnny Champion would give Kushida the best match from a pure wrestling standpoint, and if a singles match between the two was saved for a TakeOver event, it would arguably be the best match in WWE NXT history.
