WWE NXT star KUSHIDA has left the company

WWE NXT star Kushida has left the company. The news broke when he was moved to the alumni section on WWE.com sometime today.

The former New Japan Pro Wrestling star signed with WWE in 2019 but he was never pushed past the mid or lower part of the card. Aside from a brief run as the NXT Cruiserweight Champion, the company never seemed to be fully behind him and the writing was on the wall for him once Triple H exited the brand.

Kushida is a former ROH World Television Champion and he won multiple titles in NJPW before he joined WWE.
