#4: WWE NXT: Johnny Gargano vs Andrade Cien Almas - Career vs Title

Nowadays, Almas represents the blue brand, while Johnny Wrestling still holds it down on Wednesday Nights. But every time these two stepped in the ring together, magic was bound to happen. As opposed to someone who's complete gold on the mic or a larger than life persona like The Rock or Stone Cold, these guys can WRESTLE. Period.

This match up had Johnny Gargano's back against the wall so to speak. If he won, this would place him on top of the NXT mountain as champion. But if he lost, he would have to leave the company. Along with Zelina Vega's interference (which is expected), Tommaso Ciampa also took it upon himself to strike when the referee was down and it cost Gargano the match.

Despite putting on a classic, Gargano ultimately came up short. But despite losing, the fire and passion shown in this match will forever be the reason that the NXT Universe is rarely disappointed. Hands down, this was an absolute classic.
