Gargano and his wife, Candice LeRae, are among several WWE superstars appearing at the Minneapolis Convention Center from July 31 through August 2. Meeting Mr. & Mrs. Wrestling alone is a selling point, but it gets better. “Johnny will be planking for photo,” according to the event’s details. JOHNNY GARGANO IS PLANKING DURING HIS PHOTO OPS AT WWE WORLD I'M DYING 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 pic.twitter.com/nEvY3WRkN2 — Wrestling Pics & Clips (@WrestleClips) April 16, 2026 Gargano seemingly lost the will to live after losing to Axiom at the end of January on SmackDown. Since then, the down-on-life star has been lying around, planking in a funk. His depressed state sparked an online meme earlier this year, as fans took up a similar “give up” attitude. Gargano’s misery was recently captured in an ironically happy pic with former Undisputed WWE Champion Sami Zayn, whose personal photo with NXT’s first triple crown winner was one of the few bright spots during Zayn’s nine-day title reign. Whether fans or their family can also plank is unknown. Gargano and LeRae’s session takes place on August 2 at 9:30 a.m. Fans can include up to four individuals per photo op, according to the event’s website.
