Well, I reckon you heard by now, but WWE been doin’ some cleanin’ up lately. They ain’t just gettin’ rid of folks on their main roster, but also over at NXT. Now, what does this mean for all them up-and-comin’ wrestlers? Well, it means a whole lotta changes, let me tell ya. Seems like WWE is gettin’ ready to focus on just a few stars and leave the rest to go find their own way. Some big names got the axe too, so let’s dive into this whole NXT releases mess and what it means for the future.
First off, you might be wonderin’ what exactly is goin’ on with NXT. Now, NXT used to be this big place for young talent to show what they could do before they got called up to the main roster. It was like a farm league, ya know? But, lately, the vibe’s changed a bit. WWE’s been makin’ cuts left and right, and some of the most talented folks are bein’ let go. What’s the deal with that? Well, looks like WWE’s makin’ some tough choices, and folks are payin’ the price.
One of the first big names to go was Baron Corbin. Now, I ain’t no expert, but seems like ol’ Corbin’s been around for a long time, and people were surprised to see him out the door. But that’s not all! NXT’s got itself a good number of releases too, includin’ some from the 2023 Performance Center classes. Yup, that’s right, WWE’s made cuts to the newer folks just tryin’ to make it big.
- Dolph Ziggler: Released on September 21, a real shocker there! Ziggler’s been around for a while and had a lotta fans, so folks were mighty surprised when he got the boot.
- Valentina Feroz: One of the NXT stars cut back in May. She had potential, but sometimes it just ain’t enough.
- Boa: Yep, another one of those names that didn’t make the cut. Folks thought he had some fire, but WWE didn’t think so.
- Trey Bearhill: Another young talent shown the door, as WWE trims the roster.
- Dexter Lumis: This one stung a bit for some. Lumis had a unique style, but WWE let him go.
- Dakota Kai: I know she had a loyal following, but even she couldn’t escape the cuts.
Now, I know it ain’t easy for these wrestlers to get that kind of news. I mean, one minute they’re training hard, and the next minute, they’re outta a job. It’s a tough business, I tell ya. But that’s just the way it goes in the WWE. The higher-ups make their decisions, and it’s up to the wrestlers to figure out what comes next.
So, what does this mean for NXT? Well, looks like they’ll be takin’ a different approach to things. They won’t be takin’ on as many new talents, at least not right now. WWE’s gotta focus on the ones they believe have the most potential, and that means sayin’ goodbye to some folks who just ain’t makin’ the cut. For fans of NXT, this might be a tough pill to swallow, but it’s the reality of the wrestling world.
It ain’t just about the releases though. There’s also talk of changes to where you can watch NXT. The WWE Network app still got old episodes, but the new stuff is headin’ over to Peacock in the U.S. Some folks thought they’d be able to watch all NXT episodes on The CW app, but turns out, that ain’t the case. The CW only gonna show new episodes, not the whole backlog. So if you’re lookin’ to catch up on old NXT shows, better stick with WWE Network for now.
But all these cuts, releases, and changes don’t mean the end for NXT. No sir, it just means things are gonna look a little different. There’s still plenty of talent in NXT, and some of them will likely be headin’ to the main roster sooner or later. WWE’s just cleanin’ house to make room for new blood, or maybe just focusin’ on the few they think got what it takes to make it big. Either way, the future of NXT’s gonna be somethin’ to watch closely.
So, if you’re a fan of NXT, don’t give up just yet. Things may look tough now, but that don’t mean it’s the end of the road. There’s always new stars comin’ up, and who knows—maybe the next big name in WWE’s gonna come from NXT, even if it don’t look like it right now.
