Before becoming an official member of the WWE Raw roster, Johnny Gargano helped form The Way in 2020 alongside his wife Candice LeRae, recruiting Austin Theory, Dexter Lumis and Indi Hartwell. The group was successful in their short time together, winning the NXT North American Championship and the NXT Women’s Tag Team Championships. Although The Way only lasted until the end of 2021, it is considered one of NXT’s most popular factions and now Gargano has commented on whether they could reunite.

At The Wrestling Classic, Gargano stated that he was still interested in getting The Way back together, adding that being part of the group was one of his fondest memories in NXT.
“As a dad, you always want the kids to go off and do their own thing, right? But you never know when a family reunion is coming up, you never know when that might happen. People go off and do their own thing, but at the end of the day, you’re still a family. So I would never say never on a Way reunion. The Way is something I look back on very fondly, it was one of the most fun times I had on ‘NXT.’ So to do that on a larger scale is something I’m always very interested in.”

Gargano also revealed that the group Evolution and his statement on television that he wanted to do things “the Gargano way” was the namesake of his faction. However, he also admitted that The Way was often compared to the iconic line from The Mandalorian, “This is the way,” but neither Triple H nor Shawn Michaels knew about it at the time.
