WWE Release 4 NXT Wrestlers In More Cuts
NXT loses some more potential stars.
Multiple NXT performers have been added to the ever-growing list of recent WWE releases, PWInsider.com has confirmed.
Taynara Conti, Tino Sabbatelli, Cezar Bononi and Mars Wang were all sent on their way today as WWE continued to cut costs due to the current global situation, despite the company claiming to have $500 million stored away 'to manage the challenges ahead'.
Conti was signed to NXT in 2017 and appeared in both of the Mae Young Classic Tournaments to date. She'd been angling for a release over the last few months and infamously wore a 'Released' t-shirt in a recent live show appearance.
Sabbatelli penned a deal back in 2014 after a successful NFL career, originally teaming with former 24/7 Champion Riddick Moss upon his debut in 2016 before being sidelined by injuries. He made his in-ring return in January 2020 but hadn't resurfaced on NXT.
Bononi signed in October 2015 and made his NXT debut in 2017.
Lastly, Wang was a recruit from China who signed for the company in March 2018.
As of writing, WWE have only announced talent departures form Raw and NXT. With this week's SmackDown now in the books, we expect to hear of releases from the blue brand in the coming days.
