Could Johnny Wrestling be done with NXT?

With Johnny Gargano's WWE contract currently due to expire in December, the one-time NXT Champion has stirred the pot somewhat by removing all mention of NXT on his Twitter bio.

Previously, Gargano's bio read, "Pro Wrestler, Clevelander. - Be Yourself & Outwork. @WWENXT on @USA_Network".

Now, Johnny Wrestling has changed things up by removing the NXT and USA Network parts of his profile. Despite this, Gargano's Twitter does still link to his WWE.com profile page, although that likely won't stop fans speculating about the former DIY member's future.

In addition to this, yesterday saw Gargano post a shot of his NXT Championship, NXT North American Championship, NXT Tag Team Championship and wife Candice LeRae's NXT Women's Tag Team Championship, along with a "What's next?" caption.

As it stands, the belief is that Johnny's current WWE contract is set to expire on 3 December. Reports as recently as a few weeks ago stated how talks over a contract renewal have yet to formally begin between Gargano and WWE.

For Candice, her WWE deal is reportedly up at some point in 2022. Of course, LeRae and Gargano are expecting their first child in February of next year.
