Title: Johnny Gargano Eyes WWE Tag Team Championship at SummerSlam 2024 in Hometown of Cleveland, Ohio
WWE fans are buzzing with excitement as the company announced that WWE SummerSlam 2024 will take place on August 3 at the Cleveland Browns Stadium in Cleveland, Ohio. For Johnny Gargano, this event holds special significance as it takes place in his hometown, and he has expressed his desire to challenge for a major title at the premium live event.
Gargano, the former NXT Champion, recently sat down with Mike Jones of DC 101, where he discussed his aspirations for SummerSlam. He mentioned fellow Cleveland natives Logan Paul and The Miz, who are both current champions, and expressed his desire to bring a championship to his hometown crowd. Gargano, along with his #DIY tag team partner Tommaso Ciampa, was drafted to Friday Night SmackDown during the 2024 Draft, and the duo is yet to win a title on the main roster.
Gargano’s most recent in-ring appearance saw him and Ciampa face off against World Tag Team Champions Awesome Truth on Monday Night RAW, where they narrowly lost the title match. The 36-year-old is determined to change that at SummerSlam, stating that he wants to challenge for the WWE Tag Team Championship in front of his home crowd.
Gargano’s journey to the main roster has been notable, having participated in the inaugural WWE Speed tournament, where he faced Ricochet in a thrilling five-minute time-limit match. Although he came up short, losing to Ricochet, who became the inaugural Speed Champion, Gargano remains focused on achieving his goal of becoming a champion on the main roster.
As a decorated performer on the developmental brand, Gargano’s accomplishments are undeniable. However, he is yet to win a championship since moving to the main roster. With SummerSlam 2024 around the corner, Gargano is more determined than ever to make his mark and bring pride to his hometown of Cleveland, Ohio. Will he finally achieve his dream and become a champion in front of his home crowd? Only time will tell.
