Johnny Gargano is set to headline the upcoming NXT TakeOver: New York event in a two-out-of-three falls match against Adam Cole for the currently vacant NXT Championship.

Gargano talked about this match and revealed how important it is for him personally and for his career, and also gave his opinion on his opponent Adam Cole.

Gargano told WWE.com that the pinnacle of his time on the yellow brand will be to capture the NXT Championship.

“You can’t call yourself Mr. TakeOver and not deliver something special, right? One thing I’ve learned this past month is you can’t control the future. You can only control the now. Who knows what tomorrow may bring? So, for me and the NXT Championship, it’s now or never. I believe it is my destiny to be NXT Champion. I know it’s not going to be easy. It’s a 2-out-of-3 Falls Match against Adam Cole in a building where I’m 0 for 3. Plus, we all know that when you fight one member of Undisputed ERA, you’re essentially fighting all of Undisputed ERA, so this could essentially be four-on-one. The odds aren’t in my favor. But I’ve been an underdog my whole life – I wouldn’t have it any different!”

“This has been building for a very long time, and to return to the Barclays Center, which is the site of my very first TakeOver, with the whole world watching during the biggest wrestling weekend of the year, with my friends and family in the crowd, it’s shaping up to be the biggest match of my life. This has the potential to be the biggest night of my life. I’ve been dreaming of this night since I was a kid and the only thing I can guarantee, the only thing I can promise, is I’m going to give everything I have on April 5. I know it’s going to be a crazy atmosphere, but to the people riding with me in the Barclays Center, I won’t let you down.”

Gargano, while speaking on his opponent Adam Cole, said that he has an immense amount of respect for him and believes that he is one of the best in the business.

“I have nothing but respect for Adam Cole. I’ve known him for a very long time and he’s one of the best in the world. He not only has my respect, but he also has the fans’ respect, as he should. Cole’s earned that. Everywhere he’s been, he’s been successful, and he’s been a champion. Cole expects to be NXT Champion, and he has expected to be champion since the moment he debuted in the Barclays Center and held the title above his head. Adam Cole always felt like it was a matter of time. I never expected any of this. None of this was ever supposed to happen for me. Our paths here were vastly different, but destiny has brought us together for this match.”

Adam Cole won. The new main event of NXT Takeover: New York will be Johnny Gargano vs. Adam Cole for the vacant NXT Championship in a 2 out of 3 falls match.

If you recall, this match was teased back at the NXT UK TakeOver: Blackpool event, which was the first special under the NXT UK banner, on January 12, 2019 at the Empress Ballroom in Blackpool, Lancashire, England.

It started when Dunne successfully retained his title over against Joe Coffey. After the match, WALTER made his debut and attacked Coffey before having a stare-down with Dunne.

The NXT TakeOver: New York event takes place on Friday, April 5, 2019 in Brooklyn, New York at the Barclays Center and will air on the WWE Network. WWE has yet to announce any matches for this show but is expected to do so in the coming weeks.

WrestleMania 35 is scheduled to take place on Sunday, April 7, 2019 in East Rutherford, NJ at MetLife Stadium. This event airs on pay-per-view (PPV) and WWE Network. It’s the most successful and longest-running professional wrestling event in history.

On Monday morning, the WWE announced travel packages for the weekend and in the details, there were some changes that surfaced regarding NXT TakeOver and Wrestlemania AXXESS.

First up is NXT TakeOver as WWE has officially changed the name from ‘NXT Takeover: Brooklyn’ to ‘NXT Takeover: New York.’ The ‘Brooklyn’ series has been the name for the past 4 years at the Barclays Center during SummerSlam weekend. This show goes down on April 6th in New York City, NY and is considered the biggest special for the yellow brand of the year.

Regarding Wrestlemania AXXESS, WWE has changed up the schedule as in the past it would run from Thursday until Sunday morning on Wrestlemania weekend. Starting in 2019, it will now be running from Friday, April 5th, 2019 to Monday, April 8th, 2019, which means that there will be AXXESS sessions on Monday after WrestleMania. WWE never did this in the past.

Travel packages go on sale next Monday while tickets to WrestleMania go on sale on Friday, November 16th.

Get ready! #WrestleMania 35 travel packages are available next Monday. Full details at: https://t.co/Vv47YDzkCs pic.twitter.com/vz69ADTz9v
