– EVOLVE star Johnny Gargano has agreed to sign a full-time deal with WWE NXT. EVOLVE released the following farewell mini-documentary on Gargano:
We noted before that Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa were expected to sign with WWE and that they would be part of the September class. They are regularly featured on NXT TV but their current deal allows them to work for certain independent promotions. Gargano and Ciampa will be challenging The Revival at NXT Takeover: Back To Brooklyn. The new deal will keep them exclusive to WWE.
Gargano also posted this on Twitter:
