Two weeks ago, Kyle O’Reilly and Johnny Gargano spent time in front of the live crowd with NXT Champion Tommaso Ciampa when NXT went off-air. At the time, it was seen as them saying farewell with it known both men’s contracts were expiring, and subsequently, both have departed the company. While O’Reilly has already signed with AEW and realigned with his Undisputed Era stablemates, Gargano’s future remains uncertain.
However, during the latest episode of the Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer would reveal that Gargano is heavily considering signing with Tony Khan’s promotion. He would also speculate the January 26th episode of Dynamite in Clevland to be when he debuts.
As more time goes on, I have this feeling that Gargano will debut in Cleveland. That would be the right night to do it, right? It’s, I think, maybe late January, maybe 26th. I don’t know 100% that he’s going, but he’s talking about wanting to wrestle Kenny Omega. It’s things he’s said both publicly and privately. I know he’s heavily considering it.
Dave MeltzerFor those unaware, Gargano was born and raised in a suburb of Clevland, Ohio, called Lakewood, and initially trained at Cleveland All-Pro Training Center under J.T. Lightning and Josh Prohibition. Therefore if he does debut at the Wolstein Center on January 26th, he will undoubtedly receive a tremendous reaction. Additionally, with his wife Candice LeRae set to give birth in February, it would certainly make sense for him to have a full-time contract, and AEW would only require him to work once a week with Dynamite and Rampage typically taped on the same day.
