Uriah Connors Leaves Chase U & Joins Lexis King’s Group

Tuesday’s WWE NXT show also featured Uriah Connors leaving Chase U and joining Lexis King’s group.

This was initially setup over recent weeks shows over King trying to persuade Connors to leave Chase U and join his group instead. During tonight’s show, Chase U’s Connors, Kale Dixon, & Andre Chase were seen backstage talking about their tag team loss last week. Connors stated that he was tired of letting opportunities pass them by and he is not apologizing for what he did last week.

In a follow-up, King & Stacks defeated Chase U in a tag team match later in the show. As King, Stacks, and Grace made their way to the back, an upset Connors looked at Dixon over them losing again and walked out of the group and left with King’s group.
