Johnny Gargano is possibly leaving WWE NXT, but the WWE Universe will not know for sure until December 10th, 2021.

Reportedly, Gargano’s contract with the company was ending on December 3rd, 2021. However, he signed a one week extension with the company and now, he’s contract is ending on December 10th.

Apparently, the company and Gargano are trying to negotiate a deal that will work in both their favour. So far, it’s unknown if WWE has actually offered him a deal that looks acceptable to him.

It’s unknown what he wants to say. It can go one if two ways – either he reveals he is leaving the promotion or he reveals he’s staying out with WWE.

Now, in the off-chance that he addresses his contract expiration, he will be free of any non-compete clause following December 10th, 2021.
