Johnny Gargano revealed on X that his father’s restaurant was severely damaged in a fire.
The restaurant is in Cleveland, and with SummerSlam approaching, Gargano wanted to share the news with fans who might want to visit over the weekend.
Fortunately, Gargano’s father was not present when the fire started, but he lost his life’s work.
Our best wishes go to WWE Tag Team Champion Johnny Gargano and his father.
Here’s the entire post from Gargano’s X account:
“I figured I should touch on this because people are finding out, and I know a lot of wrestling fans were looking forward to going to my Dad’s restaurant when they were in Cleveland for Summerslam. Last night, there was a fire, and my Dad’s restaurant was badly damaged. I’m grateful that my Dad was not there and is okay. He is 82 years old, this is his life’s work. He has worked in that building every day for almost 50 years. I basically grew up there.. and now it’s just gone. It is extremely heartbreaking for my family.”
