Former WWE NXT star Gargano posted hype for a personal fan signing appearance on his official Twitter page. Then, 'Johnny Wrestling' moved quickly to squash rumours that he'd be showing up on Tony Khan's pay-per-view later than evening.

Gargano said: "I promise you this is ridiculously coincidental and has been booked for months. I'll only be in Chicago for like 8 hours!".

The wrestler then went on to acknowledge that he was probably fighting a losing battle by trying to convince rumour mongers than he won't be on AEW's show; "I also realise in saying this that only like 5% of you are going to believe I'm actually telling the truth!".

Gargano closed that tweet with a laughing face emoji.

Ooh, the suspense!
