Johnny Gargano Says Him Being In Chicago On The Same Day As Forbidden Door Is A "Ridiculous Coincidence”

Johnny Gargano is in the same city as Forbidden Door on the same day...

With AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door coming up this Sunday, June 26, there are still a lot of questions heading into the event, such as who will be Bryan Danielson’s hand picked replacement to face Zack Sabre Jr. at the show?

Many wrestling fans have speculated that it could be none other than former WWE NXT Champion Johnny Gargano, especially seeing as Gargano has an autograph session in Chicago on the same day - the same city hosting Forbidden Door.

However, Gargano has been quick to shoot down any rumours of being Danielson’s replacement, saying the following on Twitter:

“I promise you this is ridiculously coincidental and has been booked for months. I’ll only be in Chicago for like 8 hours! *I also realise in saying this that only like 5% of you are going to believe I’m actually telling the truth.”

Danielson mentioned on the June 22 edition of AEW: Dynamite that whoever takes on ZSJ will also be the newest member of the Blackpool Combat Club, and will also take part in Blood & Guts, but for now it seems we’ll have to wait until Sunday to find out if ‘Johnny Wrestling’ is telling the truth or not.
