Johnny Gargano Returning to EVOLVE for One Weekend Only

EVOLVE has announced that Johnny Gargano will be returning to the company for “one weekend only.” The company held their 117 event yesterday and announced that they would be returning to New York in 2019. You can check out the full results for the event here.

There will be a show held in Brooklyn on 01/18 followed by a show in Queens on 01/19. The NXT Superstar appeared for both Dragon Gate USA and EVOLVE between 2009 and 2016 before signing with WWE. Gargano was a one-time EVOLVE tag team champion alongside RAW Superstar Drew McIntyre (known as Galloway at the time).

EVOLVE formed a working relationship with WWE in around 2015. The company has seen many of their top stars move on to NXT and 205 Live, including Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa. The company also held qualifying matches for the 2016 Cruiserweight Classic event on the WWE Network.
