• Johnny Gargano Reacts To Fans Thinking He Would Debut On Tonight’s AEW Dynamite
Former NXT Champion Johnny Gargano is currently a free agent. His contract with WWE expired last month.
AEW Dynamite’s Beach Break took place in Cleveland tonight, and many fans thought Gargano would make his debut in All Elite Wrestling at this show, because it was a special episode and it was in his hometown.
Fans chanted “Johnny Wrestling” multiple times during the show, but Gargano didn’t appear.
Johnny took to Twitter to post the following after tonight’s show ended:
“I heard you and you have no idea how much it means to me that you’re excited to see me back at it.
It’s scary to step away because your insecurities say ‘they’ll forget about you’.. but you haven’t forgotten and I promise that I will make it up to you asap. #JohnnyWrestling ❤”
His wife, NXT wrestler Candice LeRae, is expected to give birth in February.
