Another WWE talent released

Her departure is the latest in a series of recent cuts from WWE’s developmental program. Over a dozen talents have been released in the past week, including former NXT North American Champion Wes Lee and Lance Anoa’i.

Despite the setback, Best ended her statement on a positive note. “But if that was only a fraction, imagine what happens when I’m finally at a hundred percent… the story doesn’t end here — it finally gets interesting,” she wrote.

Best’s release comes as the NXT brand is in a state of flux following last week’s historic “Showdown” event against TNA. Tonight’s episode of NXT will feature the fallout from that show, as well as the first WWE match in over five years for TNA’s Matt Cardona when he takes on Josh Briggs.
