📍 How it ended

WWE released numerous NXT superstars, WWE ID talents, and other wrestlers following SmackDown, including Jasper Troy, Adriana Rizzo, Wendy Choo, and PJ Vasa. Following these roster cuts, departing talents such as Rizzo and Vasa confirmed their departures amidst the ongoing cuts.

The story quieted without a definitive conclusion in the coverage regarding the long-term status of the affected roster.

The brief

PJ Vasa also announced his exit, with Wrestling News Source and Fightful noting his confirmation amid ongoing NXT cuts. Postwrestling.com captured Rizzo’s own comment that she still has “a lot more of my story left to write.” Coverage from multiple sites emphasized the breadth of the cuts. Yahoo Sports highlighted that the releases included “another former champion,” underscoring the high‑profile nature of the roster shake‑up. The repeated timing across sources suggests a coordinated wave of terminations rather than isolated departures.

The cuts occur against a backdrop of sustained reductions within WWE’s developmental brand, NXT. Earlier reports have detailed ongoing talent reductions, and the current wave follows the pattern of post‑SmackDown roster evaluations that WWE has employed in recent years. The inclusion of both established names and emerging talent indicates a strategic reshaping of the company’s depth chart, potentially to make room for new signees or to adjust budget allocations. Future monitoring should focus on any further statements from WWE regarding the rationale behind the cuts, as well as any announcements of new signings to replace the departing talent.

Additional commentary from the released wrestlers, especially Adriana Rizzo’s planned next steps, may provide insight into how the talent pool will evolve. Observers will also watch for updates to the NXT roster and any impact on upcoming WWE programming.
