NXT Star Reportedly Released Due To Backstage Behavior

WWE returns have become more common than WWE releases over the last few months. However, this week five wrestlers were released from NXT. Bodhi Hayward had been involved in a storyline with Andre Chase University, but it looks like his time with NXT is over as the company has parted ways with Hayward.

Bryan Alvarez recently shared an update on the releases on Wrestling Observer Live, and he noted that Bodhi Hayward was let go because he was a “handful.”

“I guess the easiest way to describe it is apparently Bodhi was a handful. So it wasn’t just ‘well, let’s get rid of this guy’ or whatever. But I did hear from multiple people that it wasn’t just ‘we’re gonna cut some folks, we’re gonna cut this person who was right in the middle of a storyline.”

Sloane Jacobs, Eric Yan, Ru Feng and Damaris Griffin were also released and it was speculated that they were let go because they weren’t improving. Stay tuned for more updates as they become available.
