Twitter has erupted in support of former NXT star Johnny Gargano after he made his surprise return to WWE on the latest episode of RAW.

Last December, Johnny Gargano opted not to renew his contract with WWE despite the company making him an offer. During that time, he was occupied with fatherhood, all while reportedly sitting on multiple offers from different promotions.

Triple H made Gargano one of the central figures of NXT, and it will be interesting to see how things play out for Johnny Wrestling upon his official main roster debut.

Johnny Gargano was confronted by Theory upon his return to RAW. For those who are unaware, the two men have a history together. Gargano took him under his wing during his last NXT tenure in a faction that was known as The Way.

The faction's last appearance together was in early December 2021 where they embraced in a backstage segment. However, Theory was absent as he had already moved to the main roster.

It will be interesting to see how the story plays out between Gargano and Theory. It also remains to be seen whether Candice LeRae, Gargano's wife and former NXT star, will join her husband on the main roster.

What did you make of Gargano's debut? Let us know in the comments section below.
