Johnny Gargano’s Wife Issues Statement on The Attack at NXT Takeover
Johnny Gargano’s wife, Candice LeRae, issued the flowing statement regarding Tommaso Ciampa’s attack on her husband at Saturday’s NXT Takeover event:
“Johnny is hurting physically, mentally, and we’re drained emotionally. It was a long night and we appreciate everyone’s support and kind words. It’s going to be a process, but my husband is resilient and will back stronger than ever ASAP.
We will try to keep you updated on his progress. For now, this is all I can say on the matter. I have no words for the absolutely selfish acts of this person we believed was apart of our family.
Thank you all for your love and support.”
Reason Why WWE Split Up DIY at NXT Takeover
As seen at Saturday’s WWE NXT Takeover: Chicago event, WWE did an angle that saw Tommaso Ciampa attack his partner Johnny Gargano after their loss to Authors of Pain for the NXT Championship.
Dave Meltzer discussed the incident on today’s installment of Wrestling Observer Radio and indicated that the two are headed to the main roster soon. This is the reason they decided to split them as the company didn’t want to bring them to the main roster as a tag team.
Tommaso Ciampa Suffers Injury
Tommaso Ciampa suffered an injury at Thursday’s NXT Live Event in Highland Heights, KY.
Ciampa and Johnny Gargano were facing Sanity and after a few minutes into the match, Ciampa dived off the ring apron onto Sanity and hurt his left leg. The match was stopped and ruled a no-contest. Ciampa hopped to the back yelling, “get me the f–k out of here.”
Ciampa and Gargano are scheduled to face NXT Tag Team Champions The Authors of Pain for the titles at NXT: Takeover this Saturday. It’s unknown at this time if that match is still taking place. We will keep you updated.
Update: Triple H brought up Tommaso Ciampa’s injury during today’s conference call and said that Ciampa turned his ankle but there was no break or fracture. The match for tomorrow night is still on but the medical team will make the final decision if Ciampa will be cleared to wrestle or not.
