Johnny Gargano is currently out of action with a shoulder injury.

It was announced during Monday’s Raw that Gargano is currently out of action with a grade two AC sprain. On Twitter, Gargano elaborated that he had injured his shoulder at a recent WWE house show in Toronto, Canada.

“I injured my shoulder at a live event in Toronto (ironic?), and the medical team is going to protect me from myself for a bit,” Gargano wrote. “But you better believe I'm going to do EVERYTHING I can to get back in that ring so I can be that guy you all know I can be. Just let me in that Rumble!”

During Raw, Candace LeRae said Gargano was disappointed he couldn’t compete in Monday’s tag team turmoil match, but the goal right now is to get him to 100%.

Gargano last wrestled on December 30, teaming with Dexter Lumis to defeat Baron Corbin and The Miz. Gargano & Lumis have continued their alliance with one another from NXT in recent months, feuding with The Miz over money he owes to Lumis.

Jeez. Hopefully it’s a quick recovery. That’s what he’s making it sound like

Honestly, he wasn't doing anything good anyway. Obviously, the injury sucks but maybe he'll come back with a better feud and some direction to his character other than being incredibly annoying.

I like that idea to some extent, but part of me wants them on different brands and away from each other for the next five years. It feels like they have been done to death.

I can understand from the pov of people like us who watched nxt a lot for sure. I just feel like DIY should be a thing to mainstream audiences while they can still do it (I think Ciampa is on borrowed time at this point)

I kind of agree. I think Johnny Gargano is an amazing wrestler but he doesn’t have the charisma to go far on the main roster. Ciampa is a charisma machine imo so the two would work well together

Gargano appeared on WWE The Bump on Wednesday and revealed that he was told the injury will keep him out of action for five to six weeks. However, the 35-year-old says he's hopeful to return sooner.

Gargano said:

I tweeted out that I injured my shoulder at a live event in Toronto, which is ironic because I came back in Toronto and 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 going to see what can happen and I'm going to work very, very hard to come back as soon as possible.

This isn't as bad as I expected, but that means he still won't be in the Rumble

I struggle believing anyone on their timeframes returning from injury, especially when it's due around the Rumble. Still expecting him to be in it.
