It looks like Johnny Gargano will be back in front of an EVOLVE Wrestling crowd next month.
The NXT Superstar was announced to be returning for “one weekend only” when the promotion returns to New York for back-to-back shows in Brooklyn and Queens, New York on January 18th and January 19th, during Saturday night’s EVOLVE 117 event.
Following the announcement at this weekend’s EVOLVE event, Gargano took to social media to comment on the news.
“I’m a firm believer that you should NEVER forget where you’ve come from.. you stay loyal to those who have been loyal to you,” wrote Gargano via his official Twitter page. “I can safely say that I wouldn’t be the wrestler I am today without EVOLVE. January 18th & 19th.. NYC.. The kid comes back for one special weekend.”
Gargano, the former face of EVOLVE Wrestling, has not worked for the promotion since his departure for a full-time stint in WWE / NXT in 2016.
I'm a firm believer that you should NEVER forget where you've come from.. you stay loyal to those who have been loyal to you.
I can safely say that I wouldn't be the wrestler I am today without EVOLVE.
