Go For The Purple And Orange. Former NXT Champion May Be Heading For 205 Live.

Say it isn’t so. Earlier this year, four NXT names made surprising debuts on the main roster, changing the direction of Monday Night Raw, SmackDown Live and NXT. Suddenly there was fresh talent on the main roster and a bunch of names moving up from the developmental show. Ricochet and Aleister Black have thrived and Tommaso Ciampa is injured, though WWE might have plans for Johnny Gargano.

According to Bryan Alvarez of Wrestling Observer Live, WWE is considering moving Gargano to the 205 Live roster due to Ciampa’s injury ending the chance of Gargano teaming with him for the time being. Gargano is currently still working regularly in NXT, where he will be facing Adam Cole for the NXT Title at Takeover: New York. There is no word on when Gargano could move to 205 Live.

Here’s what Gargano can do on the main roster. Check out one of his matches from Monday Night Raw:

Opinion: I really, really hope this isn’t the case. Gargano has proven that he can hang with anyone of any style and has the promo skills to back it up. 205 Live is nearly the desert for main roster talent as it’s a place that very few people come back from. It’s not to say that Gargano would be done, but this would seem to be one of the biggest wastes imaginable for someone as talented as he is.

Do you think Gargano will go to 205 Live? Will he ever be a full time main roster star? Let us know in the comments below.
