Report: WWE Releases Nash Carter Following Abuse Allegations, Adolf Hitler Imitation
NXT Tag Team Champion released by WWE soon after harrowing allegations emerged.
CW: abuse, violence.
WWE has released current NXT Tag Tea Champion Nash Carter from his contract, Fightful's Sean Ross Sapp has confirmed.
No further details on Carter's release have come to light yet. This includes the reason behind the company's decision to cut ties with the 27-year-old, who has been the subject of domestic abuse allegations made by his wife, IMPACT Wrestling's Kimber Lee, earlier this week.
On Monday evening, Lee tweeted two photos of herself with facial injuries, alleging that an intoxicated Carter had struck her a year ago:-
Hey @WWENXT this is my face after your tag champ @NashCarterWWE got wasted and hit me so hard he split my lip open. He told me I’m a wrestler so I’m always marked up. I’ve hid this for a year and even forgave him. But I can’t hide it anymore. pic.twitter.com/qdYjcneAwC

Lee also posted the following in two since-deleted tweets (h/t Sportskeeda):-
I would love to be excited for @NashCarterWWE right now but I've hid his abuse for too long. No one should be abandoned the way I've been abandoned. And silenced in hopes of keeping a career.
Beyond these allegations, Lee also tweeted a photograph of Carter imitating a Nazi salute with a moustache similar to Adolf Hitler's:-
Just another look into the kind of person @NashCarterWWE is….@WWENXT @wwe I’ve hid so much for so long because I was so mentally abused. Not to mention the countless anti LGBTQIA+ statements him and his family make….. pic.twitter.com/hzDciXr8bR

Carter, a two-time NXT Tag Team Champion, had been with WWE since signing in December 2020. He and long-time partner Wes Lee took the tag gold from Imperium's Fabian Aichner and Marcel Barthel at the Stand & Deliver event just four days ago.
