Just over a month since WWE did a mass cut of talents, which saw multiple wrestlers, including Samoa Joe, The IIconics, and Bo Dallas, released by the company, there has been another round of cuts. This time, it is from NXT, and wrestlers Alexander Wolfe, Vanessa Borne, Kavita Devi, Jessamyn Duke, Ezra Judge, Skyler Story, and referees Drake Wuertz and Jake Clemons have been let go. Both Wuertz and Wolfe had appeared on this past Tuesday’s edition of NXT.
Wuertz is arguably the most well-known of all those released, being a former independent deathmatch wrestler who became a WWE referee in 2014. Despite being assigned to NXT to would referee Ronda Rousey’s official in-ring debut at WrestleMania 34. Recently he has made headlines after missing an NXT taping to arguing against children wearing masks at a school board meeting. It’s claimed he had a lot of heat, having refused to wear a mask himself, making others uncomfortable, and recently he walked out of a speech given by Triple H about Black Lives Matters.
