WWE has released Wes Lee

Wes Lee was released by WWE suddenly in the recent mass release that took place the week before last. Several names from NXT, ID, and LFG were let go. The most surprising name on the list was Wes Lee himself, while other prominent names like Ridge Holland and Stevie Turner were also let go, with their contracts not being renewed. It was reported that Lee had been released before the star broke the news himself.

According to a report on Fightful Select, the star was let go because there were never plans for him on the main roster. The other reason given for his release was that he had already been on NXT for five years and had not made the jump to the main roster.

Now that he has been let go, a reunion with the rest of the Rascalz will see them quickly become one of the most heavily booked teams on the indies.

"I've been informed that WWE will not be renewing my contract when it ends on November 14th. WWE are still going to cover my rehab from injury but my guaranteed pay will end, quite frustrating to say the least as I cannot work for another 6 months due to the aforementioned injury, with a family of 5 to support," he wrote.
