Johnny Gargano debuted this past Monday on Monday Night Raw after nine months of inactivity after leaving the WWE brand NXT to dedicate to take care of her first child. During all this time there was speculation about the possibility that Johnny Gargano could or could appear in any other wrestling promotion but the truth is that he always he knew how to wait for his moment which now seems to have come with the inauguration of Triple H. It is true that He did not return to NXT but to Rawbut the one from Cleveland believes that everything happens for a reason.

This week, moreover, has been the guest of exception to the podcast that the commentator of WWECorey Graveshas on digital platforms and is called “After the Bell”. Here are some of the most interesting topics that were discussed in the interview with the hot, new and returned Superstar of Raw, Johnny Gargano.

► His relationship with the fans

“I believe that I have always had a good relationship with the fans but I also didn’t like creating certain expectations when I was away about whether I was going to go to one place or another, but at the same time I’ve had a great time because I’ve been brutally honest with people and there were those who took it personally or who thought he saw that he was giving clues to something and they began to say: ‘Johnny Gargano is going to appear here or Johnny Gargano is going to appear there’… I don’t know, I think I have done well to let everyone let their imagination run wild And that’s the fun part, creating uncertainty in people and they don’t know what’s going to happen.”

► His decisions on a personal level when he left NXT

“I think I made the decision to let my contract expire as a year before it happened or so and had nothing to do with what was happening at that time, just I felt that I had achieved absolutely everything in NXT and I am a person who wants to enjoy the place where he works and I love NXT and that’s why I was there so longIt was my decision and mine alone to stay there and be able to compete with the teammates I competed with at that time. I love the creatives, the locker room, the office… I have a great relationship with everyone, but the time has come to say: ‘What’s next for me? What is it that people think I can’t get?‘ and that’s what my time in NXT was all about. I did everything I could do and after that I wasn’t sure I wanted to go to Raw or SmackDown So I think I was right to let my contract expire so I could weigh different options and clear my head.

“Besides, I believe that everything happens for a reason and when my wife became pregnant was when I knew that the decision was clear. My son was going to be born in February and my contract expired in December so I had the rare opportunity to dedicate myself to being at home to enjoy my fatherhood, which would not have happened if it had been on the road. Everything happens for a reason”.
