Johnny Gargano Drops Bombshell About His NXT Career: What’s Next for the Fan Favorite?

Former NXT superstar Johnny Gargano made a surprise return to NXT on the March 7 episode seeking revenge on Grayson Waller. In an interview with Busted Open Radio, Gargano discussed his return to the brand and his upcoming match against Waller at NXT Stand & Deliver.

Gargano left NXT in December 2021 after his contract expired and joined the Raw brand in August 2022. He returned to NXT to settle the score with Waller, who had attacked him in his final segment on the show. Gargano said that his return to NXT was a moment that had been in the works for a long time and that he was excited to get one more TakeOver event under his belt and wrap up his story in NXT.

When asked if he would be splitting his time between NXT and Raw going forward, Gargano said that, as it stands, Stand & Deliver would be the end of his story in NXT. He is set to face Waller in an Unsanctioned match at the event.

“To be able to comeback there, it was a moment that was in the works for a long time. Obviously, when I came back to WWE, that was always in the back of my mind. The moment Grayson Waller took me out, if things were to work out and I was to comeback to WWE, I knew that we would settle the score sometime, someplace, right place, right time. To comeback to NXT and have that moment, hear that crowd, and have it be a complete surprise. Say what you want abut the Garganos, the Garganos can keep a secret. No one knows when we’re showing up anywhere. To have that moment again really filled my heart with much joy. It’s an amazing thing and I’m very excited for Stand & Deliver to get one more TakeOver event under my belt and wrap my story up the right way.”
