[SMACKDOWN SPOILERS] Johnny Gargano defeats 41-year-old veteran in his first-ever singles match in WWE

Johnny Gargano appears to be unstoppable and unshakeable right now following his sinister win of the WWE Tag Team Title. On the taped episode of SmackDown set to air on December 20, he defeated a 41-year-old veteran in his first-ever singles match in WWE.

*Warning: The following contains major spoilers for the 20th December episode of SmackDown. If you don't wish to see this, we suggest you exit this article*.

Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa are on cloud nine after recapturing the WWE Tag Team Title. While Ciampa's feelings were clear, Gargano made a shocking betrayal of his long-time friends The Motor City Machine Guns to regain the title.

On the December 13 episode of SmackDown, Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin cut a promo following their loss of the Tag Team Title. Shelley expressed his dismay at Gargano's betrayal, challenging him to a match on December 20.

In what was said to be a very competitive match, Johnny Gargano would beat Alex Shelley in the latter's first-ever singles match in WWE.

It wouldn't have been how Alex Shelley wanted to get his singles debut started, but he put on a great effort with an opponent who he has great chemistry with.

It's going to be interesting to see what happens in the fallout of all of this as SmackDown's Tag Team division is looking exciting.

​

Perhaps Chris Sabin vs Tommaso Ciampa will be on the cards next.
