Johnny Gargano's WWE contract is up very soon, according to a report.

Fightful Select reports that Gargano's contract is set to expire on December 10, five days after the WWE NXT WarGames pay-per-view. The report states that Gargano's deal was originally set to expire on December 3, two days before the pay-per-view, but that he agreed to a short-term extension similar to the one that Adam Cole signed when his WWE contract was about to run out before the NXT TakeOver 36 event in August.

Fightful also reports that Gargano and WWE have been engaged in ongoing contract discussions, and that the company speaks highly of Gargano signing the short-term extension while in the middle of a program.

Gargano, Tommaso Ciampa, Pete Dunne and LA Knight will face Bron Breakker, NXT North American Champion Carmelo Hayes, Grayson Waller and Tony D'Angelo in a WarGames match at the WarGames pay-per-view on Sunday, December 5. The match was made official following the show-closing angle on this week's NXT episode that saw all eight brawling.

Sounds like Gargano is taking the fall

Just go already you untalented fuck.

That makes sense. So we can assume he's being a good dude on his way out loke Cole as well then. Surely he'd have extended by now if staying

Edit: still be on time for winter is coming I think

 

[Hoss]

I still think he's the most likely of him, KOR, Owens and Zayn to re-sign but I guess we will find out very soon on all accounts.

Just gonna stick this in here since the news he's been teasing most of the day is basically no news

News has emerged that Kyle O'Reilly's deal is up soon, with Fightful confirming the PWInsider report that his contract is set to expire before the end of the year.

O'Reilly is among a crop of top NXT talent that seemingly passed on new deals offered in late 2019. One WWE source said that the contract being set to expire this soon was a bit of a surprise to O'Reilly, because a lot of WWE contracts end up having time automatically added for various reasons. We're actually told Tommaso Ciampa is in that boat of having his deal extended due to injury time. This was not a surprise to WWE, however, as they looked over their contracts this summer after the Pete Dunne and Adam Cole deals all came due in surprise fashion.

We're told WWE has interest in re-signing Kyle O'Reilly and have approached him about possibly re-signing with the company. Johnny Gargano's WWE deal is set to expire in a few weeks, and the company is making an effort to retain his services outside of a one-week extension he agreed to.

Fightful has learned from WWE sources that contract extension talks started in October between NXT Triple Crown Champion Johnny Gargano and WWE. Our sources didn't indicate one way or another whether they believe that Gargano will remain with the company, but did note that WWE wants to keep him onboard, and applauded his work with The Way before the group split, even mentioning that he helped progress several new stars even if he does leave.

TBH You'd think that Gargano would have wanted to stay but I think he saw the writing on the wall regarding the company and just said "No".

 

[Alexa]

Johnny and Kyle to AEW, lol

 

[Hidden Blaze]

Honestly, unless you are someone who KNOWS you’re safe, it’s not a bad idea to at least consider leaving when you can.

yeah I mean I just don't see where he fits on the main roster and much like Cole has nothing left to do in nxt, even pre reboot. theres next to no in ring on sdl, and raw is raw so I kind of get it on his behalf as well.
