(STINGER: WWE)

It sounds like there is some validity to reports over the weekend of possible changes tp WWE’s NXT brand and developmental system. The reports surfaced following the releases of thirteen performers last Friday.

One of those released wrestlers posted a statement over the weekend...and alluded to what’s happening behind the scenes.

Anthony Henry - who wrestled as Asher Hale in WWE - wrote, “There is a shift happening, within the company, and I no longer fit what they are looking for.”

Henry added that he was wrestling through an injury - two herniated disks - during most of his 6-month run in WWE.

Another of those wrestlers released Friday, Bronson Reed, posted a message for his fans on social media Sunday night. The Australian super-heavyweight talked about his reaction to being let go.
