A Former NXT North American Champion, Johnny Gargano has come a long way since his first WWE gimmick.

#1: Johnny Gargano - Cedrick Von Haussen

A young Gargano represented Liechtenstein against then-US Champion Montel Vontavious Porter in 2007.

In NXT, Johnny Gargano has been one of the most impressive stars in recent years.

A former NXT Tag Team and North American Champion (though he held the latter very briefly), Gargano's career in the developmental brand has been defined by his incredible matches and fantastic feud with former partner Tommaso Ciampa.

A top AEW star just called one of his colleagues 'spoiled' and 'narcissistic' HERE.

But in 2007, the WWE Universe would get their first sight of Gargano, in a blink and you'd miss it.

As MVP bragged about being the greatest US Champion of all time, his open challenge was answered by Cedrick Von Haussen, the reported champion of Liechtenstein.

Actually Gargano, Von Haussen may have been the champion of the false teeth capital of the World but was squashed in minutes by WWE's so-called franchise player, before returning years later.
