Two former WWE NXT stars have responded to a claim that some of the recent releases were due to “not working hard in training”.
WWE fired 17 talents this weekend, with most of them being from NXT.
On today’s Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer said a source had claimed that “many” of the NXT releases were due to the perception from people in the company that they hadn’t been “working hard in training.”
He said:
“Many of those cut were perceived as not working hard in training. And if you don’t work hard in training, there’s so many people who do.
“And at this point, if the feeling is you’re not working hard in training – I saw the term ‘lazy’ – the ones who are lazy are gonna be gone, and the ones who didn’t stand out are gonna be gone.”
Gigi Dolin and Cora Jade, two NXT talents who were included in the releases, have responded to that suggestion.
Dolin wrote:
When I wasn’t traveling to work for either of the two companies I was working for, I trained very hard 3-4 days a week, bumping my ass off and doing cardio drills with one of the best/toughest coaches I’ve worked with. And worked out every single day. With live events every other weekend. So yeah I don’t wanna hear this lol. The way my body feels says otherwise.
Jade added:
This, plus can’t forget having to go to my own gym outside of work after “strength and conditioning” that wasn’t doing anything for me other than get me body shamed by my bosses, coworkers, and fans 🙂 crazy!
We continue to send our best wishes to all the talent affected by the releases and wish them well in whatever they go on to do next.
Dolin and Jade will be free agents after their 30-day clauses expire and can be booked at thepriscillakelly@yahoo.com and elaynablack@yahoo.com respectively.
