In the early morning of Beijing time this morning, according to wrestling media Featherful and PWInsider reported that a total of 12 NXT players were fired by WWE one by one, and the list is as follows:
Bronson Reed, Bobby Fish, Leon Ruff, Tyler Rust, Jake Atlas, Mercedes Martinez, Kona Reeves, and others.
It is reported that the layoffs were made by WWE boss Vince McMahon himself, and HHH and Shawn Michaels were not involved.
According to the latest issue of Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer pointed out that the firing wave is a shift in the future development of NXT. Given that NXT lost to AEW in the ratings war, NXT will return to the development league style of 10 years ago in the future, and big men and young people will be popular, rather than small people and 30s to form hands, with the purpose of attracting box office.
Melzer pointed out that WWE executives have different opinions on the direction of the company's wrestling development, and they are all in the lead, and the decision has been finalized now, but it is not ruled out that the situation will change in the future.
