As Sudu put it:

"Yesterday was my final day with the WWE. What an incredible experience working with some of the most talented people I’ve ever met. Thank you to everyone who watched and supported every week!"

Sudu Shah had been with WWE for a year, having joined the company in January 2022. He was initially utilised alongside Nigel McGuinness on commentary for 205 Live, then was switched over to calling the action on NXT Level Up with Byron Saxton, and was also the host of the NXT Snapchat show.
