"Regretting they signed with AEW" - Fans on Twitter ask for several former WWE Superstars to return after Johnny Gargano's appearance
Johnny Gargano's return to WWE has apparently opened the floodgates on Twitter.
Gargano was among a number of big names that left the Stamford-based company in the last couple of years. With major players like Malakai Black (f.k.a Aleister Black) and Adam Cole joining AEW, the former NXT Triple Crown Champion was seemingly in talks with Tony Khan's promotion to do the same.
However, all rumors were quashed on Monday as Johnny Gargano made a momentous return, starting a feud with former stablemate Austin Theory.
Gargano's return comes on the heels of Triple H ascending to the head position of creative control in WWE. Due to this, many fans took to Twitter to express their opinions on AEW stars that were once under his wing.
@AdamGoldberg28 Adam Cole, Andrade, Aleister Black and Keith Lee could all be in WWE right now under HHH. He would’ve pushed all four to the moon. We could’ve had it all… https://t.co/YRCC7aGJqN

The former WWE star recently turned on the Young Bucks in AEW
While Johnny Gargano is making moves under Triple H's direction, the August 4th episode of AEW Dynamite saw Adam Cole return to the ring as well.
The Panama City Playboy made it a point to talk to the Young Bucks, stating that they made a mistake by not picking Bobby Fish as their third partner for the Trios Tournament.
WHAT THE HELL!?!?
THE UNDISPUTED ELITE HAS TURNED ON @youngbucks

Following the dramatic twist, Kyle O'Reilly and Bobby Fish initiated a beatdown on the Bucks as Adam Cole also joined in. The former AEW Tag Team Champions were subsequently rescued by Hangman Adam Page.
As of now, the Young Bucks have teamed up with Kenny Omega for the Trios Tournament. They have already secured a win over La Faccion Ingobernable, and in doing so, they advanced to the semi-finals.
Do you think stars like Malakai Black and Adam Cole would have been better off in WWE like Johnny Gargano? Sound off in the comments!
