Earlier this afternoon, news began circulating that a number of NXT talent received their release from the company.
Fightful’s Sean Ross Sapp, as well as Mike Johnson of PWInsider have since confirmed the releases, and you can check out the list of now former NXT talent below:
• Vanessa Borne
• Jessamyn Duke
• Kavita Devi
• Alexander Wolfe
• Skyler Story
• Ezra Judge
• NXT referee Jake Clemons
• NXT referee Drake Wuertz
According to the report from Johnson, the releases are the result of budget cuts. The report also stated that there may be more releases on the horizon, but it is not clear when.
Alexander Wolfe most recently appeared on last night’s WWE NXT, where he lost to his former Sanity stablemate, Killian Dain, before being kicked out of Imperium.
As for Vanessa Borne, she received the call up to the main roster, but never made her official debut on RAW or SmackDown. Jessamyn Duke made numerous recent appearances on the WWE YouTube show Up Up Down Down, but she hasn’t been seen on NXT TV in quite some time.
