Johnny Gargano’s “Final” NXT Match
Johnny Gargano wrestled his “final” match in NXT at a house show in his hometown of Cleveland, Ohio last night. He lost a title vs. career match against Andrade “Cien” Almas on a recent NXT episode, forcing him to “leave” NXT, but not before he finished his live show commitments, NXT explained. With NXT teasing a match between Gargano and his former partner Tommaso Ciampa, it’ll be interesting to see where NXT goes with this angle.

Kane Returns
Kane, who has been out since January, returned at a WWE house show last night in Kalamazoo, Michigan. He lost to Braun Strowman.
Kane is also advertised in a match against Brock Lesnar at a house show in Chicago tonight.
Samoa Joe Teases Return
Samoa Joe teased his return, posting “#Soon” on Instagram. He’s been out since early January with a plantar fascia rupture in his right foot. In late January, he said that the injury was a “week to week” thing, so he could return at any time now. WWE would have to have a storyline for him, though, so even if he’s cleared, they could possibly wait until after WrestleMania.
