Johnny Gargano has been on the shelf since his match at NXT Stand And Deliver with Grayson Waller.
Johnny Gargano returned to WWE last year to the delight of fans. Despite his however, Gargano has had trouble stringing together wins on the main roster and has had few, if any, true storylines on the red brand.
Now, Fightful Select have provided an update on Gargano, noting that he re-aggravated a shoulder injury back at the Royal Rumble.
Fightful Select has learned that Gargano re-aggravated the shoulder injury that had him sidelined for much of January. After only having a couple of matches his first few weeks back, Gargano ended up wrestling a dozen matches after March 4. We’re told that the shoulder injury got worse after his Royal Rumble return and by the time of the NXT match with Grayson Waller he was severely hampered and using one arm. The hope from the company is that he can repair the injury with physical therapy as opposed to surgery. There was speculation that Vince McMahon returning to the fold led to Gargano’s absence, but that isn’t the case. McMahon actually was directly involved with communicating to Gargano in late 2021 that he wanted Gargano to remain in the company.

We will have to wait and see when Gargano is ready to make his return to Monday Night RAW, but for now he will continue to rehab his injury while avoiding surgery.
