Shane ‘Swerve’ Strickland has rejected returning to WWE. When a fan asked if the AEW tag team champion will come back, he responded, “Nope.”
The former NXT Champion Johnny Gargano had been an integral part of the black and gold brand. Back in December last year, Gargano had made it clear that his contract had expired and he would depart the company. He soon parted ways with the company. He noted during Starrcast V that he was still undecided about his future in wrestling.
Gargano made his huge surprise return on the latest edition of Monday Night RAW. It has come to light that the plans for his return were kept a secret.
Many did not know about Johnny Gargano return
Sean Ross Sapp reported on Gargano’s WWE return via Fightful’s paywall. He said that Gargano’s name did not appear on any rundowns prior to the August 22 show. Many of the performers present did not know, and many members of the production team were not informed of his appearance.
