Johnny Gargano wants to see WWE "make a lot of money for many, many years" by using Austin Theory and Indi Hartwell properly.

The former NXT man, who only just left the company on 10 December last year, is obviously biased - he worked with both Theory and Hartwell as part of The Way, and ended up becoming great friends with them behind the scenes. However, Johnny claims that's not the only reason why he wants to see them do well.

He really thinks they're about to blow up, but only if Vince McMahon sees what he has in front of him.

Gargano told Comicbook that he's especially proud of what Theory has been doing on Raw lately. Watching his old pal interact with McMahon on screen is a bit of a minor thrill for 'Johnny Wrestling', and he hopes that these skits lead to bigger and better things for Austin.

Both Theory and Hartwell benefitted greatly by being linked to Gargano and Candice LeRae on NXT TV. That's why Johnny feels like a bit of a "father figure" to both. He'd love to see them thrive now they're flying solo.
