WWE released 12 NXT wrestlers and one referee on Friday night due to budget cuts.
Andrew Zarian of the Mat Men Podcast noted the following regarding to the news and how some USA Network officials have reacted to the news:
“Hearing a lot of chatter from USA Network higher-ranked reps regarding the releases from NXT.
‘Personally I’m disappointed with how this is going’
The perception from many is that these upcoming changes will be negative.
Perception means everything especially when you are working with partners who are not pro wrestling fans and don’t have deep knowledge of the talent.
In reality are the changes coming to NXT a bad thing? Time till tell.”
