NXT Wrestler Nick Miller Released

Some sad news has been revealed from the NXT world, as it has come to light that one half of the tag team “The Mighty” has left the company. Nick Miller was starting to build a reputation on the brand, but has now returned to Australia. Here is the story!

Why Was Nick Miller Released?

An official reason for Nick Miller’s departure has not been given, although an explanation was given by Dave Meltzer from Wrestling Observer. According to Meltzer, Miller was released from NXT by his own request.

The latest reports seem to indicate that Miller wanted to return to Australia to be closer to his family, mainly since the birth of his baby. With that, it is said that the door is open for Nick Miller if he ever wishes to return to NXT.

Another NXT Wrestler Released from His Contract

In addition to Nick Miller, another member of the developmental brand has been released. Taishan Dong, a Chinese boxer with an undefeated record, has been released from his contract too.

Taishan signed with the WWE in October of 2017. However, since his signing, we have not heard of Taishan, nor seen him on NXT. No official reason has been offered for the release of Taishan Dong.

Surprisingly, a lot of people get released from the developmental brand. Of course, most of them we do not even get to see on the NXT television part of things.

There is no doubt that Triple H likes to recruit some of the best indie talent. Of course, there is a problem with that, as certain people get lost in the mix easily. Others arrive in developmental and do not make it through the training.

It is sad that some wrestlers got released, as they could have contributed greatly to the world of wrestling. Of course, being released once does not mean it is the end, just look at Drew McIntyre and EC3!
