5 Top-rated WWE Superstars from April 2019

#3 Johnny Gargano

Johnny Gargano had one of the longest-ever running storylines for his journey to get to the NXT Championship.

During his time in WWE NXT, Gargano tried everything. He was the fan-favorite, he was the heel, and he was the tweener. He did not leave anything untried, but for some reason or the other, he could not get his hands on the NXT Championship, no matter how much he tried.

Finally, the opportunity came to him at NXT Takeover: New York.

With Tommaso Ciampa out of the picture, Johnny Gargano faced Adam Cole for the title.

And he won.

Johnny Gargano was able to overcome all the odds, as he won the NXT Championship that he so coveted.

Not only that, he then went on to defeat Roderick Strong on NXT in a non title match. The only reason he was not #1 on this list, is because he was beaten down by the Undisputed Era.
