Further Update On Roderick Strong’s Relationship With The WWE Following Release Request

Roddy wants out of his NXT contract.

Its been a rough year for Roderick Strong. He has seen pretty much every major star he has worked with jump ship to AEW. The names include Kyle O’Reilly, Bobby Fish, Adam Cole and Stokely Hathaway. Strong reportedly requested his release earlier this year, but the WWE denied the request.

On the latest Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer talked about Roderick Strong’s situation in WWE. Roddy was described as feeling ‘beaten down’ by his status in NXT. He’s still showing up, but he doesn’t want to be there.

“Roderick’s fantastic, but, you know, he’s pretty beaten down. I’m not talking about physically, I mean I’m talking about just the way he’s booked and everything like that. You know, and he’s asked to get out, he’s not allowed to get out. So, he’s in that weird state, you know, where he’s somewhere he doesn’t want to be basically.”
