Johnny Gargano: Ranking every NXT TakeOver match in his career

Johnny Gargano is one of the greatest Superstars in NXT history, and after three years serving the brand as one of its top stars, the future is up in the air for Johnny TakeOver.

He lost his latest chance at Adam Cole and the NXT Championship, and despite a standing ovation to send him off, William Regal has told us that he won't be going anywhere, so we'll have to wait and see.

But after this and a record 15 matches on NXT's biggest stage, we thought that this would be the best chance to take a look back on the incredible NXT career of Johnny Gargano.

From DIY to the rivalry with Tommaso Ciampa to becoming NXT's first-ever Triple Crown winner, the following are the 15 matches of Johnny TakeOver's incredible career in the Yellow and Black Brand, ranked from worst to best (although even the 'worst' on this list are still amazing).


#15 NXT TakeOver: San Antonio - DIY vs. The Authors of Pain (NXT Tag Team Championship)

Akam and Rezar were quite new at this point, but with Paul Ellering leading the way, they were always going to be a force to be reckoned with, but no one saw it coming quite this soon

After finally dethroning The Revival back in Toronto, the talented duo of Ciampa and Gargano had to face a much bigger challenge in Texas, but unfortunately for them, they couldn't hold those coveted titles.

AOP were quite new at this point, but with Paul Ellering leading the way, they were always going to be a force to be reckoned with, but no one saw it coming quite this soon.

While this one is at 15 on our list, it still had plenty of positives and showed off how great all four men can be inside the ring, but it just didn't live up to the hype of the other DIY contests.

If you're going back and watching all the Johnny Wrestling TakeOver bouts to celebrate his incredible career thus far, this is likely the only one you could ignore. But for die-hard fans, this still has enough positives to check out if you haven't yet seen it.
