Full List Of Every WWE/NXT UK Wrestler Released – August 18, 2022
Several WWE NXT UK Superstars were released on August 18, 2002 as part of the company restructuring their plans for the NXT brand in Europe.
The most notable names that have been released include former NXT UK Tag Team Champions Mark Andrews & Morgan Webster along with Ashton Smith, Dave Mastiff and Trent Seven.
It’s the most wrestlers released on a single day by WWE in 2022. The main reason for it is because WWE announced that the NXT UK brand is going to end while WWE plans to launch NXT Europe in 2023.
The announcement of NXT Europe also included WWE promoting the NXT Worlds Collide event on Sunday, September when NXT 2.0 stars will face NXT UK wrestlers at the home of NXT, which is the WWE Performance Center in Orlando.
Here’s the updated full list of names of wrestlers who have been released. The following group of wrestlers posted tweets on Twitter/Instagram about it.
