8 Wrestlers Who Should Compete In A NXT Title Tournament

2. Johnny Gargano

'Johnny Wrestling' is another who has started to gravitate towards the main roster as of late. Until internal news spread about Ciampa's neck troubles, he and Gargano looked to be doing so together as a tag-team. So much for that. Now, it's all about one half of DIY and his own bid to replace his partner.

Powerful narratives are a strength of NXT's product, and there's no reason why this fantasy tournament should be any different. If Gargano dedicates his run in the thing to a fallen partner, it'd give fans even more of a hook to grab onto. That's why Johnny must temporarily cancel his main roster aspirations and give NXT another whirl.

If he was announced, fans would get seriously excited. People would start to believe that this is part of another lengthy plot designed to have a returning Tommaso cut his on/off buddy down upon his return in around nine months.
