Following this week’s episode of WWE NXT 2.0, Johnny Gargano and Kyle O’Reilly were involved in a post-match celebration that appeared to be a send-off.
As seen during Tuesday night’s episode of WWE NXT 2.0, O’Reilly and Gargano were both written out of NXT storylines. Following the show, Tommaso Ciampa came out and shared a moment with Gargano in the ring. O’Reilly eventually came out and joined them. WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels then also came out and hugged/thanked them.
As we’ve been reporting here on eWn, O’Reilly and Gargano’s contracts will be expiring this week and both men are rumored to be leaving the company.
You can check out some highlights from the post-show segment below:

For everyone who still thinks Johnny Gargano is staying with WWE or NXT…
Does this look like someone who's staying?
Does this look like someone who has already signed a new deal?He's gone, guys.
He's really done.Credit to @MrJacobCohen for the photos.#WWENXT pic.twitter.com/5tglBrN1lY
