According to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio, the ‘powers that be’ had plans to cut about ten more wrestlers in the latest round of releases, but they were saved. He added that they are now considered to be ‘on the bubble,’ which means it’s possible they could be released soon:
Former NXT Champion Karrion Kross, Keith Lee, and Nia Jax are among the list of names who were let go by WWE several days ago. The news of their releases sent shockwaves throughout the wrestling community, considering that many of them were top stars in the company.
WWE is reportedly moving in a different direction with younger talent
WWE revamped its developmental brand NXT several months ago, and the show has heavily featured young talent such as Bron Breakker. Dave Meltzer stated that the company is moving in a new direction with young stars, which could be another reason for the recent cuts.
WWE will also be evaluating NXT talent every six months, and if there is no considerable improvement, then it’s the end of the road for them. Meltzer provided more details on the new direction that WWE is set to undergo:
WWE’s roster is filled with the most talented wrestlers in the world, and each and every one of them has the potential to become a big star. It’s truly sad to see that many of them will never get the chance to make it to the top as their days are numbered.
