Johnny Gargano did an interview on the Insight with Chris Van Vliet podcast (per Wrestling Inc) where he spoke about his return to WWE.
It happened in 2022 after a nine-month hiatus from the promotion as he left to focus on starting a family with his wife Candice LeRae.
“People ask me all the time, did you think about going to other places? Obviously, we all entertain the idea. But when I left, I always felt like I had unfinished business in WWE. And when the conversations were being had, it was one of those things where when I was a little kid growing up, I watched WWE. I dreamed of wrestling at WrestleMania. I dreamed of becoming Intercontinental Champion. I think all these things I said in my return promo, pretty much. They’re all very real, very true. Those are very real dreams I still do have to this day, and I can only do that one place.”
