Johnny Gargano Will Be “Cutting It Close” To Make It Back In Time For The Royal Rumble

Johnny Wrestling may be forced to sit out the Royal Rumble match.

According to Dave Meltzer in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Johnny Gargano’s injury status and the road to recovery ahead of the Royal Rumble could be a “close call.” Meltzer stated that Gargano’s injury return will cut it close when it comes to making a return at the Royal Rumble.

The Gargano injury they announced on Raw is legit. He has a sprained AC joint (shoulder) suffered at the 12/30 house show in Toronto. He said that he is looking at being back for the Rumble. That injury is usually about a month off so it’s a close call.

Johnny Gargano did state that he is trying hard to return from injury as soon as possible. It remains to be seen whether Johnny Gargano will be able to make his return in time for the Royal Rumble premium live event.
