Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn aren't the only WWE contracts coming due in the near future.
Fightful learned that NXT Triple Crown Champion Johnny Gargano's WWE contract is expiring December 3, 2021. WWE sources confirmed the news with Fightful Select on Monday afternoon. Thus far, WWE sources have indicated to Fightful that Johnny Gargano and WWE have not entered into negotiations to extend his contract, but that WWE "expected to" in the Fall.
It was specified to us that this wasn't a case similar to Adam Cole and Pete Dunne where the contract coming due came as a surprise, and the company has reviewed many of the deals since those and the Malakai Black 30 day non-compete situation. It was also mentioned that roughly around the time Gargano's deal is up is when the company thought that Adam Cole's contract would expire, and the company had planned on speaking with them both ahead of that period prior to the shocker that Cole was coming due earlier.
Gargano has been with WWE since 2015, but officially signed with the company in 2016.
