#2 Johnny Gargano vs. Velveteen Dream (NXT, February 20th)
Fresh off his victory in the Worlds Collide tournament, Velveteen Dream surprised us by using his title shot on the newly-crowned North American Champion Johnny Gargano. Dream has had success against Gargano in the past, so it made sense.
WWE has no plans for these former AEW wrestlers? Here's why!
When this match was recorded, it had alternate endings, so that made it feel even more important and exciting.
As we should expect when members of the "NXT 6" meet each other in combat, we got a clinic. You could see the exhaustion from both guys as the match neared its conclusion. Unfortunately for "Johnny Champion," however, he wasn't able to go further than Velveteen Dream, and he lost his title in his very first defense after a blistering round of last minute offense from his opponent.
For over a year, we've been talking about how good Dream is and how fast he's improved. Nevertheless, he's lost most of his big matches. After winning the Worlds Collide tournament and the North American title, we can say that February 2019 was the month that the Dream finally arrived.
