#3 Update on Johnny Gargano's WWE contract status

The contract status of former NXT Champion Johnny Gargano with WWE has been the talk of the town. His contract was set to expire on December 3rd, but he has signed a one-week extension to finish his storyline. According to Dave Meltzer, the company has offered him a multi-year contract which he hasn't signed yet.

“Gargano, his contract is up December 3. He signed a one week extension to December 10 so he could do the WarGames show and finish up the storyline. It's not 100 percent [that] he's leaving by any means. He's considering his options but, obviously, he has not signed a contract. They did not offer him a 7-day contract. They want him to sign a multi-year contract, and he has not done that, and the fact that he has not tells you that he's certainly exploring all options."

"There’s a lot to think about from his perspective. It’s not as open and shut as some people because, to me, Adam Cole was open and shut. There was only one decision for Adam Cole to make…Gargano, there’s probably two decisions, and I don’t know which way he’s going. If he was leaning strongly towards staying, they probably would have talked him into singing and that hasn't happened. It’s up in the air.” (H/T- wrestlingnews.co)

Johnny Gargano's wife Candice LeRae's WWE contract is set to expire in May 2022. However, her pregnancy and hiatus from television could lead to her contract being extended. It is to be seen if that plays a role in Gargano signing a new contract with Vince McMahon's promotion.
