Johnny Gargano makes his way to ring

Johnny Gargano shocked the world with his WWE return on Raw and now his fellow wrestling stars from all sides of the divide have reacted to his appearance.

Fans in Toronto for Raw on Monday night were treated to a main event featuring hometown WWE Hall of Famer Edge, a surprise appearance by Beth Phoenix, Canadian icon Trish Stratus making her presence felt as well as being witness to an apparent kidnapping by Dexter Lumis.

The headlines, however, were undoubtedly stolen by returning former NXT Champion Johnny Gargano to WWE. Gargano left the company nine months ago when his contract expired, and Johnny Wrestling was last seen being viciously taken out by NXT 2.0 star Grayson Waller.

But now Gargano is once again a WWE Superstar and he has his sights set on championship gold and a trip to WrestleMania.

Now several wrestling stars and personalities have reacted to Johnny Gargano’s surprise return on social media.

The man who ultimately brought Gargano back to WWE, Triple H, kicked off by saying:

“Believe in yourself. Nobody will do it for you. Welcome to #WWERaw , @JohnnyGargano!”

WWE Vice President of Talent Development, Shawn Michaels also offered his congratulations:

“Well, would you look at that! Congrats @JohnnyGargano!”
