WWE Release More Wrestlers ...WWE releasing several more wrestlers.
That’s sad, I wanted a good one.
We should’ve done the for the Jericho vs Omega announcement.
Following the main roster releases of Emma, Darren Young and Summer Rae last Sunday, NXT’s
Sawyer Fulton revealed on Twitter that he’s also been let go from the company:
“After my injury I worked as hard as possible to come back, and it just happened to not
work out.
However, I’m not ashamed of being released by any means...I’m still young and I will
be back in WWE and I fully intend to prove it.”
Fulton first signed his developmental deal with WWE back in 2012, and seemed set to be
a featured NXT player when he was part of the SAnitY faction’s original line-up when
they first debuted in October last year, with Eric Young, Alexander Wolfe and Nikki Cross
[IMAGE].
But just a month later, Fulton found himself out with a shoulder injury, and he was quickly
replaced by Big Damo.
The 5 foot 10, 300 pound Leo Gao has also been released from his NXT contract.
Although only being signed last year after a tryout in China, and never debuting on NXT
television, Pro Wrestling Sheet report that Leo was a big backstage favourite in WWE,
with their website even running the article: 5 reasons Leo Gao might become your favorite
WWE recruit - the number two reason being that he once live-tweeted getting lost on
his way to the Performance Center.
“Today important things,Leo had drive license,Leo was lose way.Leo first time by train，beautiful
train!clean,nice.Leo Orlando Crusoe!”
Sadly, though, Leo reportedly suffered a serious neck injury in August, only recently being
cleared for “limited action”.
A common factor amongst Emma, Summer, Young, Leo and Fulton appears to be lengthy times
out with injury.
And finally - for now - PWInsider are reporting the most recent winner of Tough Enough Josh
Bredl has also been released by WWE.
After winning the reality show in 2015, Bredl made his live NXT debut in December that year
as Bronson Matthews.
But he soon found himself with significant heat backstage after calling the Social Outcasts
faction “Social Jobbers” on Twitter - which “a ton of workers on both the main and NXT
rosters felt was completely disrespectful”, with Cody Rhodes tweeting at the time:
Enjoy dressing in the hall dick.
Vintage Randy Orton.
Bredl, however, lasted longer than his Tough Enough co-winner Sara Lee, who was released
from her contract in October last year.
Wrestling Memes The winner for last week’s Wrestling Memes
competition for Alicia Fox imitating Bayley goes to this ingenious effort from Mark Montes,

Speaking of Wrestling Memes, the guy behind it will be making his professional wrestling
debut for Ultimate British Wrestling on Saturday 25th November as…
