Gargano

Johnny Gargano has been one of the biggest Superstars to have ever stepped inside the WWE NXT ring. He has been a top performer – being the first-ever NXT Triple Crown Champion and has even won the NXT North American Championship for a record three times. But he has recently been in the news due to his WWE contract.  

Gargano has been with the company since 2015. He had started his association with the company through a WWE tryout camp. Post this, although he did not sign with the company, Gargano continued to make an appearance for the company. He was an independent wrestler when he initially appeared for WWE, which allowed him to continue to appear for other promotions as well.

After impressing the WWE Universe for several years, Johnny Gargano’s contract was close to expiring about a week ago. It was extended for around a week, to allow him to appear on the recently concluded NXT WarGames. The contract expiry is well known fact and on the latest episode of NXT 2.0, Gargano came out to address his future.

Gargano even thanked the fans for playing an important role in his signing with the company. But his focus was now on his pregnant wife.

But just as he was about to reveal his plans for the future, Gargano was attacked by Grayson Waller by a steel chair. Waller laid out an allout attack which included the steel steps and even a powerbomb through the announcers table. But now it remains to be seen that how things proceed from here on.
