According to the report, Gargano will be free to work anywhere he wants to since there is no non-compete attached to it. Furthermore, WWE attempted to sign him multiple times, including over the past few weeks. Gargano didn’t sign a new deal when other top NXT names did in 2019, and several people within the company said there was not sufficient incentive for those stars to make a deal.

Sources say that the split between Gargano and WWE was “incredibly amicable”, and the door is still open for them to work together in the future. People of influence have also said they are still hopeful that Gargano returns to WWE. The report also says that he was given a “reasonable overrun” in his farewell promo, which he mentioned during it, and people were happy with how Grayson Waller’s attack came across on television.

Check out how his time in WWE is coming to a close:

Editor’s Opinion:

This is sad to see, but also right on track with what is going on in WWE right now. They are losing some of their best talents in troves and I can’t make heads or tails of what is going on in this company. This includes Raw, Smackdown, and NXT. That being said, Gargano is incredibly talented and we will be seeing him in another company very soon. Johnny Wrestling will be back!
