The WWE budget cuts reportedly affected all departments and divisions this week, and the talent pool was no exception. Vince McMahon sent out a company-wide e-mail this week, stating that the round of layoffs was complete, but several NXT stars weren't fortunate enough to stick around and see that e-mail. Slate Randall, Travis Tyler, Garrett Dylan, Mac Miles, and Dani Jackson were all released from their NXT deals this week, as the company was in cost-cutting mode. Now, those former NXT stars have sounded off on their releases via social media. Sam Udell, who portrayed Travis Tyler tweeted I was probably the first guy to get fired while wearing a pink fanny pack in some time. I learned a lot and am thankful for the experience. After tweeting the day prior that she was living the dream, Dani Jackson said Its always about being optimistic!!! Jackson was released from her WWE developmental deal without ever having appeared at a live event or the NXT television program. Jody Garrett Dylan Kristofferson, son of country music star Kris Krostofferson said Looks like I couldnt cut it. It hurts, but I have no one to blame. Thanks #NXT, It was a dream lifestyle. Loved it.
