NXT Sees Their Own Releases, Including Some Popular Names

Even NXT took a beating. After Wednesday’s long list of releases, it was not clear what was going to happen on Thursday. There were several names who were let go or furloughed on Wednesday but there were some names we did not know about until Thursday. Some wrestlers let us know without some major WWE announcement and now the list has grown a bit.

There were a lot of different kinds of people who lost their jobs, whether permanently or temporarily, on Wednesday. The majority of the names were main roster wrestlers but there was also a referee and several producers. At the same time, we did much from the NXT names. Now though, we have a more complete list and there are several different names included.

Between late Wednesday and Thursday, several more names were confirmed to be gone from the company. Here is the rest of the names who are also gone from the company, according to 411mania.com:

Dan Matha
Alyssa Miles
Jon Quasto (205 Live announcer)
Kendo Kashin (coach)
Serena Deeb (Performance Center coach)
Chris Guy (Performance Center coach)
MJ Jenkins
Josiah Wiliams
Jerry Soto (announcer)
Deonna Purrazzo
Aleksandar Jaksic
Andrea Listenberger (writer)

Most of these names had not appeared on television yet or had only appeared in minor roles. Purrazzo had wrestled multiple times on Monday Night Raw and Quasto had been commentator on 205 Live since January.

Some of these people had some big time highlights. Check out some of their appearances:

Opinion: It seems that the releases have slowed down at the moment but egads there were a lot of people let go. There is always the chance that other releases have already taken place and we just haven’t heard about them yet, which makes this story one that might not be going away anytime soon. It’s a shaky time for some wrestlers, but hopefully things are already settling down.

Which of these names surprises you the most? Will there be any more cuts? Let us know in the comments below.
