WWE: Gargano’s “Final” Match, Kane Returns, Samoa Joe Teases Return

Johnny Gargano’s “Final” NXT Match

Johnny Gargano wrestled his “final” match in NXT at a house show in his hometown of Cleveland, Ohio last night. He lost a title vs. career match against Andrade “Cien” Almas on a recent NXT episode, forcing him to “leave” NXT, but not before he finished his live show commitments, NXT explained. With NXT teasing a match between Gargano and his former partner Tommaso Ciampa, it’ll be interesting to see where NXT goes with this angle.

Samoa Joe Teases Return

Samoa Joe teased his return, posting “#Soon” on Instagram. He’s been out since early January with a plantar fascia rupture in his right foot. In late January, he said that the injury was a “week to week” thing, so he could return at any time now. WWE would have to have a storyline for him, though, so even if he’s cleared, they could possibly wait until after WrestleMania.

#Soon
