WWE Releases Drew Gulak & Several More NXT Superstars

WWE released another ten wrestlers on Friday, most of them from the NXT developmental brand and the Performance Center. The list includes the following names, according to Sean Ross Sapp:

  • Darrell Mason
  • Vlad Pavlenko
  • Ezekiel Balogun
  • Kiyah Saint
  • Emma Diaz
  • Valentina Feroz
  • Keyshawn Leflore
  • Trey Bearhill
  • Julian Baldi 

Drew Gulak was also let go just weeks after being called out by Ronda Rousey for touching the string of her sweatsuit. He hadn’t appeared on WWE television since and his absence was explained in a creative angle.

WWE Chief Operations Officer Brad Blum tendered his resignation earlier this week and Cameron Grimes, Xia Li, Xyon Quin, Jinder Mahal, Sanaga, Veer Mahaan, and Von Wagner were all recently let go, as well. 

We’re sending our best to everyone who lost their jobs with WWE.
