For the first time in a month, Johnny Gargano returns to in-ring competition to face 205 Live’s Tony Nese.
When he was last seen in Full Sail Live, Gargano was apologizing to the NXT Universe following a loss to Velveteen Dream. Gargano has since clarified that he was apologizing for the turbulent events of the last several months, from his failure to win the NXT Title to his questionable tactics.
Vowing that he’s done with the “whining, crying and complaining,” Gargano now looks to get back on track as the virtuous Johnny Wrestling that won the hearts of NXT fans in the first place. Will his path to redemption start with a victory against Nese, as the ab-counting Premier Athlete puts himself to the test against one of NXT’s best?
