PWInsider with the rest.
Corbin, a former NFL star and Golden Gloves boxer, 40, was signed to WWE in 2012 and was part of the initial WWE NXT Black and Gold roster that helped kick off that brand’s WWE Network era. He was brought to the main roster with an Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal win at Wrestlemania 32. He held the United States title and had several character changes over his run from a Lone Wolf badass, to a sad, broken comedy character that morphed into “Happy Corbin” after hitting it big in Las Vegas. In recent months, Corbin was billed as a free agent and returned to NXT as a veteran working with the younger talents. He was more versatile than given credit for and was a good utility player for the company in that he filled any role they tasked him with.
Hartwell, 28, signed with WWE in 2019 and was most memorably a member of The Way with on-screen husband Dexter Lumis and adopted “parents” Johnny Gargano and Candice LaRae in NXT. She was brought to the main roster in 2023. Her final match for the company, teaming with LaRae, will air on tonight’s Smackdown.
Nox, 29, signed with WWE in 2017 but tore her ACL during the Mae Young Classic tournament that year. She made her main roster debut for WWE in 2021 but suffered another torn ACL. She was released in 2021 but brought back in 2022. She last wrestled for the company this past July.
That states these are the only three that were going to be released today.
I will absolutely lose my shit if/when Nixon turns up in North for a few shows.
i wanted her in aew the last time but id love if she turned up at maple leaf! the sad thing is she just recovered from being sick and was ready to go. triple h just hates womens wrestling.
That, and she’s never been the same since her injuries. She can still go but she’s lost a step imo.
Excuse me, he can’t hate women’s wrestling, his wife invented it after all. /s
Wouldn’t blame ya!
She’s one of those ‘what if’ stories which just kinda sucks. Between the numerous knee/leg injuries (before and during WWE) and WWE never knowing where/when to slot her in I’m surprised she was kept around as long as she has been. She’ll do good on the indies or where ever she ends up.
