Johnny Gargano discloses the "fun coincidences" with his WWE return ahead of his first match on RAW

Former WWE NXT Champion Johnny Gargano recently took to social media to talk about the coincidences ahead of his in-ring debut on RAW next week.

Gargano returned to WWE on the August 22 edition of RAW in Toronto and will feature in a match on next Monday's edition of the red brand. Upon his return, the former DIY member has been at loggerheads against his former stablemate Theory. The 25-year-old interrupted Gargano's first segment back and also had a war of words with him on the latest episode of the show.

However, Theory's jibes did not deter the former NXT Champion as he took to Twitter to reveal some fun facts about his wrestling return. Gargano talked about how the building in Toronto, where he returned, was also where he won his first title in WWE. He also revealed that Portland, the location for RAW next week, was the last arena he wrestled in before the pandemic.

​

"We've had some fun "coincidences" with this return of mine..I came back in Toronto in the building where I won my first title in @WWE. #TakeOverToronto.Now my first match back will be in Portland in the last arena I performed in before the pandemic. #TakeOverPortland."

It will be interesting to see who Johnny Gargano will face this Monday on RAW and whether Austin Theory will get involved.
