AEW Star Shows WWE Rejection Letter From 2015

Before Tommaso Ciampa was forced to vacate The NXT Title due to undergoing neck surgery earlier this month, he was initially set to defend his NXT Title against Johnny Gargano at NXT TakeOver: New York.
A Fatal 5-Way Match was then set to determine who will face Johnny Gargano at NXT TakeOver: New York for the vacant NXT Title. After winning The Fatal 5-Way Match against Matt Riddle, Ricochet, Aleister Black & NXT North American Champion The Velveteen Dream, Adam Cole is now set to take on Johnny Gargano for the vacant NXT Title in a 2-Out-Of-3 Falls Match at NXT TakeOver: New York.
On Twitter, Johnny Gargano recently reflected on when he received his rejection e-mail from WWE after a tryout in 2015 and how the fans helped get him to where he is now.

“I still have my rejection email from my WWE tryout back in 2015. I look at it from time to time to remind myself how far I’ve come and why any of this happened to begin with. I didn’t take ‘no’ for an answer. I fought for a chance. But I couldn’t do this by myself. … It didn’t matter if it was a dark match in Full Sail or my 1st TakeOver at the Barclays Center. You chanted “Johnny Wrestling.” You believed in me and they listened. We fought together to make any of this happen. We will fight to make one last dream come true in New York.”
AEW Star Chuckie T would then respond to Gargano that he also still has his rejection letter from Canyon Ceman (Senior Director Of Talent Development for WWE) and showed a photo of it.
“I hope you are well. I wanted to follow-up per our conversation at the end of your tryout. WWE does not have an opportunity for you in our developmental system. Future opportunities may be available in the form of a ‘Rhyno’ type loop/shot, as the NXT TV and touring brand evolves. Please keep me updated on your contract status, so we know if you are available for such opportunities. Thanks again for your effort and professionalism at the tryout, it was noticed and appreciated. Regards, Canyon Ceman”
Chuckie T responded with a “sad face.”
