After months of speculation about a possible jump to AEW, Johnny Gargano returned home and he is now part of the WWE Raw brand.
Gargano started out by thanking the fans and talking about being away from the ring for 9 months. He acknowledged that he didn’t know where he would go and he considered retirement.
Gargano talked about wanting to win titles, including the WWE Championship and he is betting on himself, and “Johnny Wrestling is back in WWE.” Gargano was then interrupted by Theory. Theory put over his own accomplishments and said that Gargano took him under his wing and it’s almost like “I’m the veteran and you’re the rookie.”
Theory teased doing the “high 5” like they did in NXT but Gargano kicked him in the face. So we have Gargano’s first feud on Raw set up.
