Wrestling fans on Twitter reacted to the release of NXT Superstar Bodhi Hayward, who was among the first to be let go in the Triple H regime.

Hayward was a popular member of Andre Chase's faction, Chase U. His absence was notable on last week's episode of NXT. He was also absent on the latest edition of the show, with Duke Hudson seemingly taking his place as the flagbearer of the faction.

Following his release, Bodhi Hayward took to Twitter to send an emotional statement to the NXT Universe.

"What up Brodies? It's your boy, Bodhi Hayward. Brady Booker here, to tell you that I was just released from the WWE. I'm hurt, I'm embarrassed and Brodies I'm just down bad. For the last 18 months, Andre Chase University and wrestling has been my whole life. But I am no stranger to adversity. Adversity is something that has come up my whole life and I've always found a way to get on top. I will do it again. I'm Brady Booker and I'm here to stay," the former NXT star said.

The WWE Universe also reacted to the video, with many fans wishing him the best for his future.

Check out some of the reactions below:

One fan stated that Bodhi Hayward pulled off a gimmick that not many would be able to do.

While another fan said that he can't wait to see what's next for Bodhi.

One fan commented that WWE and Triple H might bring him back soon.

One fan jokingly stated that they look forward to seeing the star on AEW Dark.

Andre Chase also had a beautiful message for his scholarship student Bodhi Hayward.


WWE released four other superstars under Triple H's regime

Bodhi Hayward wasn't the only NXT Superstar released. Four other stars were also released along with the Chase U member. The list of released superstars includes Sloane Jacobs, Erica Yan, Damaris Griffin, and Ru Feng.

This is the first time that WWE has released a group of superstars since Triple H took over as Chief Content Officer. A couple of weeks ago, the company released Nigel McGuinness, who served as a commentator for NXT UK.

Amidst Hayward's absence from Chase U, Thea Hail took on Kiana James in a losing effort as Duke Hudson accompanied her to the ring. It remains to be seen how Hail and the rest of Chase U will bode without Bodhi Hayward.
