The future of Johnny Gargano following this week’s WWE NXT remains uncertain. During the post-WarGames edition of NXT 2.0, the veteran NXT star came out to the ring to address the crowd amid rumors of his departure. The announcers hype up the session by teasing that he might just end up announcing the future plans of his career. It has also been implied that he could be leaving the company.
Candice LeRae and their dog were also seen on NXT for a brief backstage segment. Candice and Johnny Gargano kissed before the latter went to the ring. He said NXT is the only place he has ever felt special in his life and this is the reason he never left this brand for RAW/SmackDown.

While a change always seems scary it also needs to happen, as per him. He also mentioned how he’s going to start the most important job of his life in February 2022, as he will officially become a father with Candice.
Johnny Gargano said he doesn’t know what the future holds for him when then he was attacked by Grayson Waller with a steel chair in the back. Waller powerbomb-ed Gargano through the announce table to end the show, as the fans chanted “piece of sh*t” toward him.

After the TV taping was over, the former NXT Champion had some emotional moments with other wrestlers. Some of the photos have been shared on the internet where Johnny Gargano can be seen having some emotional moments with NXT Champion Tomasso Ciampa, Kyle O’Reilly, WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels, and more.
No concrete update is there on Johnny Gargano’s career
There’s no confirmed update is available on whether Johnny Gargano has re-signed with WWE, or if his contract status really is really up in the air. His original NXT contract expired last Friday, December 3, but he extended that deal for a week in order to perform in the WarGames match, this past Sunday. That extended contract will expire this Friday, December 10.
Reports suggested that WWE has made a strong contract offer to the veteran superstar, but it remains to be seen if he has signed. Even Johnny Gargano’s wife, Candice LeRae’s WWE contract will reportedly expire in May 2022, but the belief is that the company will add some more months to the contract to cover up the bygone hiatus as she’s been on a hiatus due to her pregnancy. Hence, she will be under contract with the WWE until 2023.
