The Way was certainly a unique NXT stable.
Johnny Gargano made a special guest appearance on the latest episode of The Bob Culture Podcast on YouTube to talk about his time with the WWE and what’s next for his wrestling career. The former NXT Champion also talked about his time as a heel on NXT working with Austin Theory, his wife Candice LeRae, and Indi Hartwell as The Way, a storyline that might have been very different.
“I think things turned out the way they were supposed to,” Gargano said. “That was never going to be the way that character was supposed to be. It was going to be a lot more serious, but I just kind of felt like with everything going on with the pandemic and with COVID and things like that, I felt like NXT just needed a little bit of levity, a little bit of funniness, silliness, goofiness, and I was happy that I was able to provide that.”

Gargano definitely seems to have enjoyed the wackiness of the NXT stable. Of course, now only Theory and Hartwell remain on the WWE roster.
