Following the conclusion of Tuesday night’s NXT, Johnny Gargano and Kyle O’Reilly, both of whom are longtime mainstays of the former black & gold brand, received a proper sendoff from the crowd and WWE producer & trainer, “The Heartbreak Kid” Shawn Michaels. Both men have reportedly wrestled their last matches in NXT and will likely be moving on to other career opportunities.

Final farewell after the show.
This was the sendoff the globe needed.
Hugs, DIY sitdown, just the boys being themselves one last time in NXT.
Gazed one last time at what they built together in between tears
