#1.) Johnny Gargano
There wasn’t really going to be anyone else. The fact that his nickname is Johnny Takeover should tell you the whole story. From his run with DiY to his break up with Tommaso Ciampa to NXT title pursuits to feuding with Tommaso Ciampa and beyond, Gargano has had an incredible journey through NXT Takeovers, with his character undergoing major change and not just following the Sami Zayn route.
In all of those matches, what was guaranteed was that Gargano would steal the show, and you can’t even count the number of times he stole the show on one hand. There are simply no better performers on the Takeover stage than Johnny Wrestling himself.
