PWInsider is reporting that Johnny Gargano will be positioned as the new top heel on the WWE NXT roster.
This comes after Karrion Kross dropped the NXT Championship to Samoa Joe at TakeOver 36 and is on the main roster full-time now. On the flip side, Adam Cole’s contract expires on Friday.
PWInsider added that Pete Dunne and Roderick Strong will be the main players on the heel side of things.
Gargano is still paired with Candice LeRae in The Way and has been dealing with the Dexter Lumis and Indi Hartwell romance storyline as of late. Dunne has been aligned with Oney Lorcan and now Ridge Holland, while Strong returned to NXT recently as the biggest name in Malcolm Bivens’ Diamond Mine stable.
