WWE has released NXT wrestler HoHo Lun, according to a report from Raj Giri at WrestlingInc.com. Lun was signed after competing in the 2016 Cruiserweight Classic.
He was used sparingly during his time with the company. In October, he and tag team partner Tian Bing Lost to Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa in the opening round of the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic. In November, he was announced as being a part of the 205 Live roster but he had been working on the Florida NXT shows in recent months. Lun is the founder of Hong Kong Pro Wrestling Federation.
It’s been reported over the last couple of weeks that WWE is looking at budget cuts. We don’t know if this was WWE’s decision or if Lun asked for his release but I would not be surprised if WWE decided to cut more names from the roster.
