It’s been a sad time for the talent, crew and fans of WWE’s NXT UK brand. Yesterday, we would get the news of a big rebranding – taking the brand from NXT UK to NXT Europe, with the show going on hiatus until 2023 as everything is set up. This has led to a lot of the names from the NXT UK roster being released, including former champions like Mark Andrews, & Flash Morgan Webster – and top prospects like Millie Mackenzie. Today, we have more confirmed releases from the NXT UK roster.
Full List Of Names Released From NXT UK
The full list of talent confirmed to be released yesterday was Flash Morgan Webster, Wild Boar, Mark Andrews, Jack Starz, Ashton Smith, Millie Mckenzie, Sha Samuels, Nina Samuels, Primate, & Dani Luna. We can now add Eddie Dennis, T-Bone, Teoman, Trent Seven, Xia Brookside, Sid Scala, Saxon Huxley, Amir Jordan, Kenny Williams, and Rohan Raja to this list.
This essentially just leaves those who went over to NXT 2.0 for what is left of the NXT UK roster in WWE, with Tyler Bate, Blair Davenport, Gallus, and Charlie Dempsey around – with Meiko Satomura expected to also remain, given her status as the NXT UK Women’s Champion, likewise with Heritage Cup Champion Noam Dar. No injured names have been released, which include names like Ilja Dragunov & Oliver Carter.
Worlds Collide Is Coming Soon As The Final Stand Of NXT UK
With even the likes of Trent Seven being released, this has really been a major amount of talent released from the company. With their UK plans on hiatus until 2023, it does make sense they would cut anyone not currently needed. There’s a hope that the bigger names find their way back to NXT with NXT Europe, especially the likes of Seven, Teoman, Dennis, and Smith.
We’re going to see what remains of NXT UK clash with NXT 2.0 at the upcoming Worlds Collide event, with a planned main event of Tyler Bate vs. Bron Breakker. Meiko Satomura vs. Mandy Rose is also rumoured, with both of these matches potentially being unification matches.
Will most of these names be brought back in 2023? Let us know what you think in the comment section down below.
