On his Hall of Fame podcast, Booker T commented on the recent releases, and the past ‘war’ between AEW and NXT.

With AEW breezing past the black and gold brand in viewership numbers, the Hall of Famer feels WWE should revert to it being a platform for superstars to develop as performers.

Booker T believes it is tough to sustain when focusing on something else. He thinks that NXT got a bit overcrowded as several indie stars were signed by WWE over the years.

Recent WWE NXT releases

WWE, once again, made several releases last week as many NXT Superstars were let go by the company.

Bronson Reed, Bobby Fish, Mercedes Martinez, Kona Reeves, Leon Ruff, Asher Hale, Jake Atlas, Giant Zanjeer, Stephon Smith, Tyler Rust, Ari Sterling, and Zechariah Smith were all released last week.

Reports have indicated that WWE may let go of many more stars in the weeks to follow. WWE has been on a spree since the pandemic began last year and has let go of over 100 stars since 2020.
