Ciampa and Gargano competed in the TLC match at SummerSlam for the WWE Tag Team Championship. Gargano's wife, Candice LeRae, interfered in the match and climbed the ladder to attempt to retrieve the titles. However, Ciampa got shoved into Gargano, and Johnny Wrestling inadvertently pushed his wife off the ladder and onto another one outside the ring.

The former champion took to Instagram today to reveal his relationship goals following SummerSlam and humorously shared an image of LeRae climbing the ladder. You can check out Johnny Gargano's message in the Instagram post below.

Former WWE writer Vince Russo discusses Candice LeRae and Johnny Gargano

Wrestling legend Vince Russo recently shared his thoughts on Candice LeRae and suggested she should have been let go alongside Indi Hartwell last year.

Speaking on Sportskeeda Wrestling's BroDown show, Vince Russo suggested that The Poison Pixie was only in the company because Johnny Gargano has a good relationship with Shawn Michaels. He also stated that he predicted Hartwell would be released by the company.

"No, no [not surprised], I think I ran down a laundry list last week of who was on the show and who needs to be cut, and literally I believe I listed Indi Hartwell and Tegan Nox. And, listen, come on, let's be honest, Candice LeRae should have been let go with Indi Hartwell but her husband works there and Shawn Michaels is in love with her husband. Who knows what they got going on? That's the only thing that saved her job," he said.

Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa are both former NXT Champions but have not had the same success as singles stars on the company's main roster. Only time will tell what WWE has planned for #DIY following their loss at SummerSlam 2025.
