5 things we wanted to hear from Vince McMahon but didn’t get

#2. The call-up of Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa

Few pairings could light a brand on fire faster than Gargano and Ciampa.

WrestleMania weekend highlighted the disparity between NXT and the main roster in terms of building long term storylines and giving fans what they want. Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa headlined that weekend’s TakeOver show—and the two TakeOvers to follow—with truly great matches. Ciampa has emerged on the short list of the best heels working anywhere in wrestling today, while Gargano played one of the very best faces and has more recently made a startlingly good shift to a heel persona.

It is probably best to let these two run their course in NXT. However, if they were to get the call up, get a spotlight, and get free rein to work a similar style and telling as compelling of a story as they did in developmental, they could truly reinvigorate the Raw brand all on their own. That’s besides the prospects of them mixing it up with other top-shelf workers like Seth Rollins and Drew McIntyre.
