Johnny Gargano vs Velveteen Dream (winner faces Andrade 'Cien' Almas at TakeOver)

The fans were hot for this match with duelling Johnny Wrestling-Velvetten chants. Velvetten got the better of the opening exchanges but his cockiness allowed Gargano to briefly lock in the Garga-No-Escape. Velveteen fought like a fish on water and somehow reached the ropes as we cut to commercial.

When we came back, we saw Dream acrobatically use and Irish Whip to make his way to the apron. Once again showing off let Gargano get the better of Dream as Gargano hit a running dropkick, sending Dream face-first onto the apron. Gargano followed it with a canonball from the apron.

Gargano rolled Velveteen Dream back into the ring but got hit with a swinging neckbreaker as he tried to get himself back into the ring. Gargano got a 2-count off a backslide before Dream dumped him out of the ring.

Dream then headed to the top turnbuckle before jumping back down. He headed back out to the ring and continued to work on Gargano, hitting him with a backdrop onto the apron as we cut to the last commercial break.

We came back from the break to see Gargano fired up, hitting Dream with a step-up enzeguiri. He followed it up with a rolling kick before hitting a twisting Flatliner from the turnbuckle. Gargano then went after Dream's arm before both men rolled each other up for nearfalls. Dream followed it up with a Superkick and Gargano replied with a rebounding lariat. Gargano crawled and covered Dream for a nearfall.

Gargano looked for the Garga-No-Escape but Dream hit his patended twisting DDT but Gargano managed to kick out right before the third fall. Dream then went for the top rope but Gargano pulled him down, sending him crawling out to ringside.

Gargano then hit a suicide dive before rolling Dream back into the ring and heading to the top rope. Dream ran into the top rope casuing Gargano to lose his footing. Dream then hit an Avalanche Death Valley Driver from the middle rope but Gargano still kicked out at the last second.

Chants of "Johnny" broke out as Dream headed to the top rope again for the Purple Rainmaker. Gargano got his knees up to meet Dream's elbow and hit Dream with a Superkick before locking in the Garga-No-Escape. Dream finally tapped out to confirm that Gargano is the one going to TakeOver to meet Andrade 'Cien' Almas for the NXT Championship.

What a performance from Gargano. He could be a top babyface in the making if treated right.
