Johnny Gargano interrupted an interview with AAA World Cruiserweight Champion Rey Fenix on SmackDown, turning a conversation about lucha libre into a tense confrontation.
The interview began with congratulations for Fenix successfully defending his championship against Ricky Saints the previous week. Fenix said he was happy to defend the title on Raw, SmackDown, NXT or AAA, and to showcase the art of lucha libre.
Gargano then cut in, accusing Fenix and his brother of having no honor. He warned them to keep away from “Sammy’s title,” adding that he believed he was next in line.
Fenix responded by asking Gargano if he wanted to fight. He said Gargano would “get burned” if he stepped into the ring with him, then made clear he was ready to face him anytime, anywhere.
The exchange ended with Gargano continuing to insult Fenix as the champion walked away. Their confrontation leaves the door open for a potential match, while Gargano’s claim to be next in line puts him in the middle of the title picture.
