Johnny Gargano Reveals How Long He Will Be Out Of Action For

Johnny Gargano is currently not medically cleared to compete inside the squared circle and the former NXT Champion revealed he suffered a grade two AC sprain at a WWE house show on December 30, 2022. It was announced on the January 9 episode of Monday Night Raw that Gargano was out with the injury.

Speaking on WWE's The Bump, Johnny Wrestling revealed that doctors told him he would be out of the ring for five-to-six weeks but he is trying to return sooner.

"I tweeted out that I injured my shoulder at a live event in Toronto, which is ironic because I came back in Toronto. That's where I injured my shoulder. I got rammed into the steel steps, and I sprained my AC joint. Doctors say originally about five-to-six weeks. I'm going to do everything in my power to cut that time down, and that's the most transparent I can be there. We're gonna see what can happen, and I'm gonna work very, very hard to come back as soon as possible. [There's] a lot of things I still want to accomplish, a lot of things I still want to do. I am far from happy with how things have gone for me recently, and I want to right those wrongs and show everyone out there; that believe in me, what Johnny Wrestling is truly capable of doing," Gargano said.

If Gargano will be back in time for the Royal Rumble on January 28 is currently unclear, but the NXT Grand Slam Champion is hoping he will be ready to return for the pay-per-view.
