Johnny Gargano recently spoke with WWE.com to promote his return to the EVOLVE promotion this weekend where he spoke about a wide range of topics.
On Friday at EVOLVE 119 in Brooklyn, NY at the Saint Finbar Catholic Church Gym, he’ll team up with AR Fox vs. EVOLVE Champion Austin Theory & Josh Briggs that will headline the show. The following night, he’ll take on Theory in a non-title match will serve as the headliner of EVOLVE 120 in Woodside, NY at the La Boom.
When asked what it means to make his return to EVOLVE, where he worked before signing with the WWE, Gargano stated that it’s crazy to get the chance to do this and thought that when he had his final EVOLVE match, he was closing a chapter but with the landscape of wrestling, he’s able to come back and thinks that’s awesome.
“It’s great that I get a chance to go back to a place that is very important to me. I’ve said time and time again that I don’t think I’d be the wrestler I am today, probably wouldn’t be the person I am today, if it wasn’t for my experiences and my time at EVOLVE Wrestling.”
He continued by stating that he doesn’t think he wouldn’t be in WWE NXT if it wasn’t for his time in EVOLVE and Dragon Gate USA. Thus, to get a chance to come back and just perform in La Boom again, is pretty cool. He added that it goes to show how awesome wrestling is in 2019.
