Former NXT Champion Tommaso Ciampa is out with an injury and it appears that his partner and the current NXT Champion has joined him in the list of injured stars.
The latest edition of Wrestling Observer Newsletter reveals that the current NXT Champion Johnny Gargano is dealing with a knee injury.
Johnny last wrestled at a NXT Live Event in March 8th and this injury is said to be the reason for the champion’s absence from a WWE ring since then.
This report might explain why the NXT Star has been working as a producer for the brand and he tweeted about not being complacent in the business recently:
The #1 killer of success is complacency.
Especially when it comes to this job.. there's just so many different sides and intricacies to it, you can always get better and learn something new.

Though at the time, there aren’t many details available about his condition so it’s hard to say how long the former World Champion will remain out of action.
