Following his return to WWE last night on Monday Night RAW, Johnny Gargano was stopped for a WWE Digital Exclusive to talk about his return.
āIām still at a loss for words. I donāt know. When youāre away for so long, I was away for nine months, like I said, and I was just kinda changing diapers and watching Bluey and doing the dad thing for a long time. Itās just one of those things where you just donāt know if people are gonna remember who you are. Yeah, I was here for a long time in NXT, and I did of cool things. But thereās still that big part of me who was just a nervous wreck all day because I was like hopefully at least one person remembers who I am. To stand there and watch my name come up on the tron and see people go nuts, Iām like man, itās really a relief. I feel like a huge weight is lifted off my shoulders now because people remember who I am, and now itās time to get to work."
He explained his reasons for coming back:
āWell, I said that I came back for a lot of different reasons, but first of all, I wanted to be intercontinental champion, United States champion, WWE Champion. I wanna wrestle at WrestleMania, and thereās only one place you can do that, and thatās here in WWE. Thatās why I came back, thatās why I am beyond proud to be here. Iām just a ball of energy because I just went out there for the first one. Literally Iāve been sitting at home doing nothing for nine months. Just diapers, and you know diapers, thereās no good diapers, I promise. But yeah, Iām so over the moon, Iām so excited. Iām really excited honestly now to go back home and see my baby. I think he was watching. He might be sleeping. He got a chant tonight. There was a āBaby Wrestlingā chant in a WWE ring. Yeah, score one for him. Heās gonna appreciate it when he gets older. Iām gonna be like, āHey, watch this tape. Watch this VHS.ā Let's go. Let's go."
