For those that may have missed last night’s WWE NXT Takeover: Chicago live special where Tommaso Ciampa turned on his tag team partner Johnny Gargano, ending the DIY alliance following their loss to The Authors of Pain for the WWE NXT Tag Team Championships, a report from Dave Meltzer of F4WOnline.com notes that the reason for the split of Gargano and Ciampa is due to the fact that both men are expected to be called up to the main roster soon and that WWE officials did not want to bring them in as a tag team.

It will be interesting to see if the storyline plays out on WWE NXT television over the coming weeks before both men presumably come up to the main roster the night after the WWE SummerSlam pay-per-view or whether last night was the NXT swansong for both men before they come up in the coming weeks.

Meanwhile, speaking through her official social media channels, Candice LeRae, the real-life wife of Johnny Gargano, commented on Ciampa’s attacks stating, “Johnny is hurting physically, mentally, and we’re drained emotionally. It was a long night and we appreciate everyone’s kind words. It’s going to be a process, but my husband is resilient and will be back stronger than ever ASAP. We will try to keep you updated on his progress. For now, this is all I can say on the matter. I have no words for the absolutely selfish acts of this person we believed was apart of our family. Thank you all for your love and support.”
