#2.) Johnny Gargano
Johnny Wrestling has taken it to a whole new level in 2018. It’s incredible to think that he main evented 4 out of 5 NXT Takeover specials this year. The matches he’s put on has gotten a whole fanbase behind him and he’s proved to be the greatest performer in Takeover history.
Apart from just the world-class unforgettable matches, Gargano’s character arc has been one of the best in WWE, from being a never-say-die babyface to seeking redemption against Tommaso Ciampa to losing himself in his obsession for revenge. It’s been one of the best stories in NXT history and it’s going to be interesting to see where it’s headed.
