9 Johnny Gargano WWE Attires Inspired By Superheroes (And Their Hidden Meanings)

The second-ever NXT WarGames special saw Johnny Gargano at his darkest. While not a total villain, he had become a complete antihero. While justified in his motives, he'd begun to take his actions beyond the pale. In a shocking revelation in the lead-up to the event, Johnny told us that he was the one that attacked Aleister Black, thus allowing him yet another one-on-one encounter with Tommaso Ciampa at Brooklyn IV.

When Gargano entered the arena to face Black at WarGames, he came wearing his signature vest, but this time with a Punisher-like skull on the front. The Punisher has long been a controversial hero in the Marvel universe as he is often morally right but his actions are typically too hideous to justify. Gargano had become just like his former DIY teammate whom he hated. Johnny's fall from grace, however, brought him just punishment when he suffered a crushing loss to Aleister Black in Los Angeles.
