On the latest episode of WWE NXT, it was announced that Johnny Gargano will make his return to the show next week for the first time in over two years. The RAW Superstar has recently reacted to the announcement on social media.
Gargano is one of the biggest names to have ever come out of the developmental brand. During the black and gold era of NXT, he was one of the top stars on the show. He became a Triple Crown Champion and was involved in a memorable feud with Tommaso Ciampa, his current tag team partner. On NXT, WWE revealed that Wes Lee will face Bronson Reed, Cameron Grimes, and Gargano in a Fatal 4-Way Match next week. If Lee wins the bout, he will challenge Dominik Mysterio for the North American Championship at Deadline.
This will be Johnny Wrestling's first match on NXT TV since November 30, 2021, when he faced Bron Breakker for the WarGames advantage. He has had two NXT Premium Live Event matches since WarGames 2021 and Stand & Deliver 2023. However, this will be his first time competing on the Tuesday night show in over seven hundred days.
Johnny Gargano took to Twitter to comment on the announcement by stating that he has had a history with both Grimes and Reed and that he is a fan of Wes Lee's work. He included a GIF of Rafiki from The Lion King movie saying, "The King has returned," referring to himself. Gargano added that the fans are going to want to see the match.
