#10 Johnny Gargano

 

Johnny “Wrestling” Gargano isn’t new to the WWE Universe. Gargano has been performing on NXT, although he hasn’t signed a contract with WWE. Gargano is one of the few independent talents who have been given the opportunity to perform on NXT without agreeing to or signing a contract with the company.

Johnny has been competing on the independent circuit for more than a decade and is one of the most recognizable faces in North America.

WWE has been keeping an eye on Johnny for a while, as he first performed for WWE back in 2007. Johnny Gargano then participated in the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic tournament and has received positive reviews.

While Johnny regularly performers for promotions such as Absolute Intense Wrestling (AIW), Pro Wrestling Guerrilla (PWG), Dragon Gate USA and Evolve, many believe that it is only a matter of time before WWE offers Gargano a developmental contract.
