Speaking on Beat of Sports, Gargano reflected on visiting prison to wrestle.

"I (wrestled in) an actual prison. Before my time in WWE, I was an independent wrestler, so I would wrestle on a bunch of random shows here and there. They had a show booked in a prison. I've wrestled multiple times in prisons, which is a wild crowd. Wild environment. They ran a wrestling show in the middle of the yard where they had all their activities and stuff like that. 'Hey, come watch a wrestling show,' and we wrestled in a prison. It was wild," he said.

Gargano won't be in a prison, but he will be in a chamber at WWE Elimination Chamber when he challenges for the WWE United States Championship.
