WWE is going through a big change, and that will include a huge shift as the company merges with the UFC. It seems that one NXT tag team is also looking to switch things up.
Fightful Select now reports that the former Grizzled Young Veterans want out of their deals. They have asked for their releases from the company.
Fightful can confirm that the former Grizzled Young Vets, Jagger Reid and Rip Fowler have requested their releases from WWE. They’ve been involved with Schism of late on NXT.
We haven’t heard a reason why they’ve asked for their releases, but they’re expected to announce themselves shortly as well. The duo has been in NXT for over three years.
Both men are veterans of over a decade, and are expected to be in demand on the US indie scene, in addition to the UK.

We’ll have to see if WWE lets them out of their deals. They could always go into cost cutting mode and release even more people along with them. Only time will tell where they end up next, but things just didn’t seem to work out this time for them in WWE.
