Johnny Wrestling thanked the fans and then ran down his accolades. Gargano also mentioned that he wanted to be a role model for his six-month-old son.
Gargano's former stablemate Theory confronted him when he mentioned that he was back in WWE. The former NXT Champion appreciated everything Theory has done in the past nine months. Theory mentioned that he has achieved everything that Gargano dreamt of.
The former United States Champion also offered Gargano a chance to be his side-kick and carry the briefcase for him. Finally, Theory wanted to do the signature hi-5 of the Way with Gargano. Theory was in position but he did not receive a hi-5, what he received was a super-kick from Gargano.
It looks like Gargano's opening feud will be against his former tag team partner, Theory.
