WWE provides an update on Johnny Wrestling.
Johnny Gargano hasn't competed since December 30, 2022, and WWE has now revealed why. In a short announcement on the January 9 edition of WWE Raw, commentators Corey Graves and Kevin Patrick revealed that Johnny Gargano is currently suffering from a Grade 2 AC sprain. It was not made clear when the injury was sustained.
Gargano quickly commented on his injury in a Tweet:
I injured my shoulder at a live event in Toronto (ironic?), and the medical team is going to protect me from myself for a bit.. but you better believe I'm going to do EVERYTHING I can to get back in that ring so I can be that guy you all know I can be. Just let me in that Rumble!

After giving an update on her husband, LeRae revealed that she plans to win this year's Royal Rumble. Rhea Ripley would interrupt LeRae shortly after and tell her that she planned on winning the Rumble instead. The two went on to agree to a match later on in the show.
