9 Johnny Gargano WWE Attires Inspired By Superheroes (And Their Hidden Meanings)
2. TakeOver: New York - Iron Man
Tony Stark is a man who’s been through countless trials and tribulations in his lifetime. However, no matter how far down into the dark valleys he's fallen, Stark has always managed to claw his way back up and again find the light. Similarly, Gargano had previously succumbed to his own primal feeling of hatred for Tommaso Ciampa. However, by TakeOver: New York, the once sainted hero of NXT had managed to pull himself out from those depths.
Fittingly, Johnny's attire was clearly an interpretation of Iron Man's signature red and gold armor. Ready to move beyond his dark days of fighting against his former DIY teammate, he'd begun to see the encroaching light of salvation. Unfortunately, Gargano had to topple a new foe in the form of Adam Cole before he could consider himself truly saved. But by the end of the night in New York, Johnny Wrestling finally captured what he'd long dreamed of holding - the NXT Championship.
