WWE announced on Thursday that it would be growing its NXT brand internationally with the creation of NXT Europe.
At the same time, a handful of NXT UK superstars have been released from the company.
The official announcement of NXT Europe did note that it would be reimagining the brand as well as its talent pipeline with a “Pan European focus,” so it’s likely that WWE is attempting to bring in some new talent to grow into major superstars, as they did with former NXT UK talent Rhea Ripley, Doudrop, Gunther, and Butch.
Each of the superstars thanked the WWE for their time and didn’t offer up any specific plans for what’s next in their careers.
