There might be more WWE releases coming soon.
During the latest Bryan & Vinny & Granny & Craig Show, Bryan Alvarez noted out how WWE’s edict is that if they don’t see improvement in NXT wrestlers every six months then they will release them.
“You know what I heard today? I don’t have all of the details, but with NXT 2.0 they got the new deal where you got six months to get better in this shi**y program here. Who in the world could possibly get better in six months working no shows and just doing horrible stuff on television. But every six months they evaluate you and if you aren’t getting better then you like done for and apparently they’ve made some evaluations including some names you would know. So we might get some changes coming to NXT 2.0….not a cancellation, some people might be canceled.”
Last month, Dave Meltzer reported that WWE plans to let people go if they don’t see improvement within 90 days and to expect more mass releases.
The latest NXT cuts happened in April with names being let go including Dakota Kai, Harland, Dexter Lumis, and Malcolm Bivens. Prior to that, there were several NXT personnel such as Samoa Joe, William Regal, and Road Dogg cut in January.
