Current NXT star says he wanted to work with Johnny Gargano
Current NXT Superstar Carmelo Hayes revealed during a recent interview that he wanted to do more work with Johnny Gargano.
Gargano worked for WWE from 2015 to 2021, spending the entirety of his tenure on NXT. During this time, he had three reigns with the North American Championship, a single reign with the NXT Championship, and the NXT Tag Champion alongside Tommaso Ciampa. He was also the first triple crown champion in the history of the developmental brand.
Another man who is quite familiar with championship success in NXT is Carmelo Hayes. The former North American Champion was recently interviewed by The Black Announce Table. When Hayes was asked about his favorite people to work with, he named the former DIY member.
Hayes also mentioned that while he was excited to work with the main roster stars in the future, he wishes he and Gargano had done more together.
"I really liked working with Johnny Gargano. I felt like that was cool, I felt like we could have done some more stuff. I felt like that was just so quick, and then he took off," Hayes said. [6:28 - 6:39]
