Well, here’s the thing—looks like that young man Von Wagner, who was part of the WWE NXT, got released. Word’s around he ain’t the only one neither. They let go of a good bunch last week, him included. It’s like one day you’re there, and the next, poof, gone!
Who is Von Wagner Anyway?
Von Wagner, now that boy ain’t just any wrestler. His daddy was a wrestler too, so you could say it’s in his blood. A second-generation Superstar, they call him. Worked over at WWE for more than two years, trying to make a name for himself just like his dad did. But life in WWE, it ain’t easy. Sometimes the stars just don’t align, y’know?
When Did He Get Released?
From what I heard, news came out that he got the boot just last weekend. Fightful, that’s one of them news sites for wrestling, they first let folks know. They’re always on top of this kind of thing, seems like. They said Von Wagner’s release is tied to some recent cuts WWE’s been making. His last match, if I recall right, was against Lexis King. April 2 it was, and he didn’t win that one neither. Tough last run for the guy.
Who Else Got Released?
Now, like I said, it weren’t just Von Wagner. A handful of folks got the axe too. Names like Jinder Mahal, Veer, and Sanga came up, folks that were just gettin’ going with their careers. They all had some ups and downs, like anyone, and yet they’re also no longer with WWE. Tough world, this wrestling. One day you’re a big deal, the next day, well…
Why Did WWE Let Go of Von Wagner?

Can’t say for sure, but WWE, they make these decisions every so often. Could be budget cuts, could be new directions, or maybe they just got too many folks on the roster. Now, Wagner, he was a big fella, had the look for wrestling and all that. But sometimes, if things don’t click, they gotta move on. It ain’t personal, as they say—just business.
What’s Next for Von Wagner?
Well, that’s the million-dollar question, ain’t it? The fella’s got wrestling in his blood, and there’s other places out there—AEW, Impact Wrestling, even the indie circuit. He might take a bit to figure out his next step, but wrestlers like him, they usually pop back up somewhere else, don’t they? After all, he’s got experience now, got a name folks recognize, and that counts for something.
All said and done, wrestling’s a tough world, harder than most folks think. Von Wagner might’ve had a short stint with WWE, but it’s just part of his journey. Who knows? We might see him back, stronger and better, maybe even giving WWE a run for their money someday. Time will tell, but he’s still got a whole lotta road ahead of him.
