Johnny Gargano WWE Championship pursuit

Overview

Johnny Gargano transitioned from a period of low motivation, characterized by him “planking” during backstage segments, to actively pursuing the WWE Championship. Following a title match against champion CM Punk in Cleveland, Gargano signaled a return to form by announcing on social media that he is ‘back’.

On the September 11 episode of WWE SmackDown, Gargano confronted Sami Zayn to demand a shot at the Undisputed WWE Championship. Zayn responded by stating that Gargano would receive the first opportunity to challenge for the title if Zayn successfully defeats CM Punk in Mexico City.
