Former WWE NXT UK Star and WWE NXT UK Tag Team Champion Flash Morgan Webster spoke with Fightful on a number of topics such as being released from the WWE in August of 2022 and how it was gutting because WWE was just about to hold their biggest Premium Live Event in 30 years called Clash at the Castle as well as how they would have loved to have been on that show.
Flash Morgan Webster said:
“I ain’t gonna lie, it was actually gutting. The fact that they had their biggest show in the UK in 30 years and it was in Mark’s hometown, 20 minutes from where I grew up, we learned to wrestle in that city. We would have loved to have been on that show. The fact that Pete Dunne was on it filled our hearts completely because the Bruiserweight character was created in a community center 20 minutes down the road. It was perfect. I loved the fact that he was there and doing that. I never thought I’d get to the Motopoint, which we won the tag belts in, let alone do the Millennium Stadium, Principality Stadium.”
Flash Morgan Webster also spoke about how the WWE release was really difficult because that was a big part of him and his identity for almost 6 years, then it was just taken away from him.
Flash Morgan Webster said:
“It was a difficult one. It really was. To have it that close and then to have it not just taken away so you’re not doing it, but then having the rug pulled out from underneath you and you’re not even part of the company anymore. Then you’re a bit like, ‘Well, my identity for the last five, six years has been a WWE wrestler. Not only a WWE wrestler, but one of the few Welsh signed wrestlers.’ So yeah, it was tough. That week was tough. I know I speak for Mark and Eddie, Dennis and Wild Boar. We all found that week very tough considering the biggest show to ever happen in Wales was also happening the same week that we got released.”
