WWE NXT Champion Johnny Gargano is currently dealing with a knee injury which is why the company made the decision to keep him off live events, according to a report from Dave Meltzer of The Wrestling Observer who notes that Gargano, who has been working as a producer at NXT live events while sidelined, is being restricted to working Takeover events and television tapings as he recovers.
Gargano’s match against Adam Cole at next month’s NXT Takeover: XXV event is said to not be in jeopardy, however it is unclear as to how active Gargano will be at NXT live events following the outcome of that match.
