Johnny Gargano recently spoke with Rick Ucchino from Sportskeeda for an in-depth interview about his pro wrestling career and current run in WWE’s black-and-gold brand of WWE NXT.
During the discussion, the three-time NXT North American Champion spoke about his current goal being to solidify his legacy by having a strong reign with the title this time around.
“The one thing I haven’t done yet is have a legitimate title run,” said Gargano. “For me, being the underdog, I was always more about the chase than the actual title and holding it and defending it.”
He added, “That’s the one blemish on my legacy; not being able to hold the title, not being able to defend it, not having a run with it. That is the number one goal on my mind right now.”
Additionally, Gargano spoke about what WWE NXT can do to increase their weekly television ratings, and mentioned his desire to help build the brand for the future.
“Also, I want to build NXT for the future,” said the NXT North American Champion. “I want to help others and propel them to where I think they should be and help NXT reach a higher platform. I think NXT is a viable third brand and I firmly believe that. The idea of developmental needs to die.”
