Johnny wanted me to watch this match in the crowd. So here I was, front row, watching him fight his dream match yet again. Hoping for a different outcome this time.

This time, it was a 2 out of 3 falls match. I was on the edge of my seat.

1... 2... 3... Adam got the first pin.

"Come on Johnny!" I yelled out to him.

I knew he couldn't hear me, but it made me feel better.

Adam tapped to the Gargano Escape. Second pin goes to Johnny. I cheered and yelled for Johnny, as he shortly celebrated.

The events before the final pin were hell for me. I watched as Adam tortured, manipulated, and trued to straight humiliate Johnny.

There were tears in my eyes when they finally made it back to the ring.

The little boy beside me looked up at me, but smiled.

"Johnny Wrestling" The boy yelled and clapped.

I did it with him, smiling.

The entire crowd erupted into the chant, and then Johnny went for another Gargano Escape. Adam crawled to the rope, and nearly made it, before Johnny moved it to the center of the ring.

Then, Adam tapped, and Johnny was NXT Champion.

The little boy beside me was jumping up and down in pure excitement. Johnny hopped out of the ring, and ran over to me.

He took me into his arms, holding me close. He was crying happy tears of his own, holding the belt in his arms.

"We did it. We did it" He repeated.

I jumped the barricade, and headed up the ramp with him.

As we went into the back, Johnny was met with applause, and hugs, and handshakes.

I went on to his locker room to wait on him.

After his shower, he met me back there, and packed his things before we went out the back of the arena. There were a few fans waiting, and I noticed that same little boy who was beside me. He had a marker, and a Johnny Gargano action figure.

"Johnny" I grabbed his shoulder.

"Hmm?" He turned around.

"Sign that action figure for that little boy. He started your Johnny Wrestling chant right before you won" I smiled.

Johnny smiled at me, and walked over there.

He kneeled to the boy's level, and signed his action figure.

"Thanks Johnny" The boy smiled from ear to ear.

"No problem, dream big, kid" Johnny hugged the little boy.

When he returned to me, I kissed his cheek.

"You're such an influence" I smiled.

"As long as I'm a good one" He shrugged.

"The best..."
