Gargano is involved in the NXT WarGames, which will be happening on Sunday, and it has made most of the fans wonder where he and WWE are standing now.

It was also reported that just like Adam Cole, WWE has spoken highly of Johnny, who is willing to extend his contract when other companies are likely interested.

Adam Cole was a part of WWE, and during his last times with the company, there were rumours that WWE would extend his contract even though many other companies were there in the competition. Still, after a lot of hassle and tussle, Cole left WWE to Join All Elite Wrestling, and now the same thing can happen with Gargano as well.

“There’s one match that’s avoided me in my entire NXT career, but this year…it’s finally time. WAR GAMES!”
