More specifically, Ciampa's bitch.
In April, Johnny Wrestling won his place back on the roster by beating that bellend in New Orleans in an unsanctioned match. At the time, the Dude was OVER AS F*** as a pure babyface.
Following the conclusion (or so we thought) of his story arc, he goes on to gift Blackheart the NXT Title by getting involved in Alister Black's title defense. Johnny Wrestling turns into Johnny Failure/Dumbass by losing to Ciampa at successive Takeovers thanks to his own bloodlust and stupidity when he had that asshole beat.
Then Johnny turns heel by embracing the dark side. This is despite the fact that he lost twice to Ciampa by punishing Tommy further when he had the match in the bag, and in time becomes the goon for Blackheart.
So NXT turned the most over and natural face in the company into a loser heel who is now the goon of the heel he had beaten at successive takeovers before descending into bloodlust and stupidity. Sure, there is a redemption angle for Gargano (unless NXT decide to do HEAT HEAT HEAT!), but we had one earlier this year, and it looks to be leading to ANOTHER NO DQ MATCH BETWEEN GARGANO AND CIAMPA HEADLINING A TAKEOVER.
It's also worth noting that Ciampa and Gargano have been in NXT since 2015. These are two dudes that did not need much seasoning, if any. They should not be spending so much time in developmental, and with Bryan turning heel, now would have been an ideal time to bring Johnny Wrestling to the main roster, instead of him going over old ground in NXT.
Instead, as Johnny Failure, he'll probably spend even more time in NXT.

I seriously, seriously SERIOUSLY want Ciampa and Gargano to take about a 5 year break from interacting at this point. I love both guys, but I'm sick of them as friends, partners, adversaries, frenemies, whatever.

Unpopular opinion but I can't stand this guy. Way too much of a try-hard with the over selling-dazed eyes looking into the distance. Plus he looks like a greasy rat. Don't rate him at all, heel or face.
Ciampa is the exact same, comes off as s guy playing wrestler.

This is all leading to Gargano turning on Ciampa. It’s all part of the plan.

Being a big Johnny fan, I’m hoping it pays off like the Orton/Wyatt feud. Johnny gets close to him so he can take him down... But the way this company is, I wouldn’t be surprised if this wasn’t the case. Johnny was the best face in the company before this stupid turn. He should have beat Ciampa in the No DQ match. The whole ending made him look stupid.

I thought he was a bitch even before he turned heel. He deserved every beat down Ciampa gave him.

If you painted him blue, he'd look like a short Avatar cat thing.
And then Disney would capture him and make him work in the Animal Kingdom.

This angle was such a no brainer and for the usually pretty competent and simple booking of NXT to ruin it completely is mind boggling.

I’m just going to wait for this angle to play out. I trust NXT enough to do long term storytelling. On top of that, Gargano gave a look to Ciampa that looked like he just committed the ultimate sin before slowly realizing he liked what he did to Black when he stepped out of the cage. Idk, I’d wait this out before making the millionth ____ is bitch thread lol

So what's there been more of this year___ is a bitch threads or WWE roster injuries? Too many, but considering the insane schedule of main roster WWE and main roster booking, it was inevitable there would be lots of both.
Never thought that there would be an NXT Wrestler getting his own thread.

I just don't understand the steps involved here. Gargano has a year-long redemption where he loses all the time, finally gets the win back against his former partner, then goes on another big run of losses because he needs a second redemption arc. It's so weird and baffling, and honestly kind nonsensical.

I was sick of this angle before the end of their first match. They're all so f***ing long, each one is like a third of a Takeover.
I love Ciampa but call him up already. And Gargano is pointless now.

The problem with the angle is Black, not Gargano. Him needing to be so protected is keeping Johnny's evil from paying off by him actually winning and it looks good.

This is what happens when you not only stay in development toolong, but you’re the main event, everything is super laser focused on you, and your entire story is based around the facing the same guy over and over and over.
