Another NXT Star Released By WWE

The list of released WWE Superstars keeps growing.

On May 2, WWE began its latest round of talent cuts with several surprising names leaving the company.

From the main roster, Katana Chance, Kayden Carter, Shayna Baszler, Dakota Kai, and Braun Strowman were all let go. While Cora Jade, Riley Osborne, Eddy Thorpe, Gigi Dolin, Jakara Jackson, Joe Coffey, Mark Coffey, Wolfgang, Oro Mensah, and Javier Bernal were all cut from NXT.

The departure of Dakota Kai in particular raised eyebrows, given she had posted on social media about missing performing just days earlier. In her post, the star confirmed that she wasn’t injured despite her recent inactivity.

WWE Releases Dani Palmer

In a post on Instagram, Dani Palmer has now confirmed she’s also left the company. The star signed with WWE in 2022 and made her in-ring debut that September, appearing on NXT Level Up and later NXT.

Thank you WWE for bringing me to the love of my life🤍 the past 3 years have been amazing! It’s a bittersweet feeling to be officially closing out my athletic career, but I can truly say I went til the wheels fell off..literally lol. Our bodies are a gift and mine has been so kind to me. I look forward to this next chapter!! Gods been giving me some big dreams with bringing my business back and I couldn’t be more stoked about it! Thank you all for the support❤️❤️

It is believed that they will all have 30-day non-compete clauses, as is normal for NXT talent compared to the 90-day clause for main roster talent.
