Johnny Gargano and Kyle O’Reilly both seemingly said goodbye to the WWE this week during Tuesday’s episode of NXT 2.0. Both bid farewell to the crowd in an emotional scene once the show was over.
The pair’s contracts with the WWE are reportedly up this week, and many fans have already started guessing about which company they’ll jump to next. According to Wrestling Observer Radio’s Dave Meltzer, their case isn’t as open-and-shut as some might think.
“The feeling from what I have heard in NXT is that they believe they are going to be back. They have angles to get them away. Both are having children early next year. Gargano talked about it. O’Reilly is the same situation. The angles were to injure them, take them out for a while, and then they would come back.”
Meltzer also noted that WWE had a similar stance on Bryan Danielson, and we all know how that turned out.
“The thing is on that is Bryan Danielson was the same way, if you remember. If that’s the case, do you let your contract just expire? If that was the case, then why don’t you just sign a new contract? So I don’t know exactly what the deal is. I know that in one of the cases, one of those people was very much considering AEW but had not made that choice. WWE, they didn’t do that [angle] for Johnny Gargano to have him show up next week in AEW.”
We will have to wait and see what the pair decide to do as they obviously will have multiple options on the table.
