In-Ring: Johnny Gargano

Johnny Gargano makes his way to the ring. Johnny wants to know where did they leave off. Johnny asks everyone to watch his back because the last time he was in this ring, Grayson Waller hit him in the back with a steel chair.

Last time he was in this ring, he said he would teach his son to be the best man he can be. To be the best man you can be, you have to finish what you start. It is Wrestlemania season and there is a lot of talk about finishing your story. Johnny says he is back to finish his story.

Fifteen months ago, his story ended on a cliffhanger. When he returned to Raw, a little piece of him was missing. Johnny says he was face down on that table with Grayson Waller standing over him. Waller didn’t just take his last minute from him, he took closure from him. Johnny says he respects Waller for doing that. That is why I gave you a gift. I waited to see what you could do with that moment. The last person to take me out was Tommaso Ciampa and he became one of the greatest NXT champions.

I sat back and watched you, but what did you do? You had two chances and you failed. Then you whined and cried and complained to everyone. You disrespected these people, the locker room, and then you disrespected NXT. A lot has changed in fifteen months, but one thing that will not change is the fact that NXT is my home. You do not screw with a man’s home. For seven years of blood, sweat, and tears. . .
