Johnny Gargano Reveals His Remaining Goals In NXT

Johnny Gargano Reveals His Remaining Goals In NXT

Johnny Gargano is one of the longest-tenured stars on the NXT brand. It has been over five years since he debuted on the show in 2015 and he has done a lot since then. From winning titles to having match of the year multiple times, you could say he has done it all.

Now the NXT North American Champion, Gargano has opened up about what his remaining goals are. In storyline, he wants a long title run but in real life he wants to help grow the NXT brand. Here is the quote from Gargano’s interview with Sportskeeda, courtesy of Wrestle Zone:

“I feel like the one thing that I haven’t done yet is have a legitimate title run. For me, being the underdog ‘Johnny Wrestling’ character, I was always more about the chase than the actual title and holding it and defending it. So now I feel like that’s the one blemish on my legacy is not being able to hold the title, not being able to defend it, not being able to have a run with it. So, I feel like that is the number one goal on my mind right now.

Also in kind of a more real sense, I kind of want to build NXT for the future as well. I want to help out other people, propel them to where I think they should be and kind of help NXT reach an even higher platform. And every single interview I do, I say that NXT is a viable third brand and I firmly believe that. I think the idea of ‘developmental’ needs to go aside because NXT’s roster is filled with very talented people who have been doing this for a very long time and we all have one goal and that is to take NXT where it deserves to be.”

Johnny Gargano recently became the first-ever three-time NXT North American Champion. He was able to defeat Damian Priest and Leon Ruff in a Triple Threat match to win the title at NXT TakeOver: WarGames.
