There are few names more iconic to the NXT brand of WWE than Johnny Gargano. He was the first man to achieve the NXT Triple Crown, winning the NXT Tag Team Championships, NXT North American Championship and NXT Championship during his time there. Add in his trend of having show stealing shows at NXT Takeover events – and thus fans have big expectations for him on the WWE main roster – which have not been met yet. Gargano is asking fans to be patient with his time on Monday Night RAW.
Johnny Gargano Proved He Can Still Steal The Show At Elimination Chamber, Asks Fans To Be Patient
While speaking on Busted Open Radio, Johnny Gargano would have a chance to speak about his main roster run – saying that good things come to fans who wait.
You know how things go, man. You make the most out of the time you’re given, you make the most out of your opportunities. I feel like I had a huge opportunity in the Elimination Chamber match, and I feel like I showed out in that one. I feel like I was able to get in there with a guy that I feel is probably the standard-bearer on our industry right now, Seth Rollins. I think he’s the tippy-top of the mountain, he’s where I want to be, and I hung toe to toe with him, and I showed the world that I can hang with him. So it’s one of those things where it’s all about time, it’s all about patience.
I know a lot of people don’t want to be patient, they want it now. They want me to go out there and have 30-minute matches, 25-minute matches, do my TakeOver thing. It takes time, it takes equity. It takes getting this other audience that maybe doesn’t know about me, the casual fans we talk about all the time, in these buildings that, quite frankly, I haven’t been in before. A lot of these markets, I’ve never wrestled in, and they’re seeing me for the very first time. This whole past six months, I’ve wrestled in so many markets I’ve never been in before because… in NXT, they did the main markets, they did the hardcore wrestling towns. I do feel like it’s just time, it’s equity. As you know, it’s putting your time in, making the most out of the time you’re given, and that’s all you can do,”
Not Expected To Be Part Of WrestleMania 39
Gargano is not currently factored into the plans for WrestleMania 39 – instead being set to return to NXT for one night at NXT Stand & Deliver. There he will face Grayson Waller, the man who sent Gargano packing from WWE in early 2022 – with it unclear if Gargano would re-sign with the company.
In addition to this, he is set to wrestle tonight on Monday Night RAW – teaming with Dexter Lumis to face Dominik Mysterio and Damian Priest of The Judgement Day. This is a follow up to his match with Finn Balor from last weeks episode of Monday Night RAW, which saw Balor get the win.
