The Following, Are Now UNEMPLOYED As They've Been Released By WWE (NXT)

 

WWE has released several NXT talents today.

Alexander Wolfe, who was just seen last night and was beaten down by Imperium.  He had been formerly part of Sanity.

Skyler Story, formerly Ava Storie, who worked for EVOLVE and a number of Florida independents.

Ezra Judge, real name Ezekwesiri "EJ" Nduka Jr.,  a former arena football player and professional bodybuilder for the IFBB.   He was signed in August 2019 after several tryouts. 

Referee Jake Clemons, originally from the Ohio area, was released by WWE earlier today.

MMA Four Horsewoman member Jessamyn Duke.  She was originally signed in 2018.

Vanessa Bourne - A former professional cheerleader who was initially trained at the Knokx Pro Academy under Rikishi.  She was signed in April 2016.

Indian talent Kavita Devi, who worked the first Mae Young Classic in 2017 before being signed to WWE NXT in October of that year.  She was among the first-ever Indian female talents ever signed by the company.

She last wrestled for the company in July 2019.

Devi was slated to wrestle earlier this year as the WWE Superstar Spectacle for the Indian market but had returned home to India to deal with a family matter.  The original plan was for Dev to team with Charlotte Flair on the special. Instead, Sareena Sandhu was placed into a tag match against Bayley and Natalya.

Drake Wuertz, who had been with the company since March 2014 and at one point was the head WWE NXT referee, was released earlier today.

WWE claims the releases are because of "Budget Cuts", yet they've made a ton of money off of their deal with the Peacock Network, so this claim really does come off as pretty lame. 

Why not just admit that your "Creatively challenged" creative department wasn't 'creative enough' to actually come up with something 'creative' for them, to do?

THAT, is more like the truthful reason, and they deep down inside? Know it.
