As noted before, WWE released a new batch of talents this past Friday, which included Jinder Mahal and Xia Lia among those released.
Fightful Select reported that their sources stated that NXT talent Von Wagner was also among those who had been released this past Friday.
In regards to the reason for the delay in the discovery of Von Wagner’s release, it was reported that they were not able to verify at the time that all of the talent who were released had been already announced.
Prior to his release, Von Wagner had been with WWE since 2019 and primarily worked for their NXT brand. Von Wagner was drafted to the main roster as a “free agent” following last year’s WWE Draft but WWE officials never had any real main roster plans for him and quickly returned back to NXT.
