5 WWE stars that were released in 2018 - Where are they now?

#2 Nick Miller

Throughout their time in NXT, Nick Miller and Shane Thorne were pushing for the Tag Team Championships as TM-16. The group was getting closer to the titles throughout 2018 and even turned heel and renamed themselves The Mighty.

This came to an end back in December 2018 when Nick Miller requested his WWE release and it was granted. A report by the Wrestling Observer stated that Miller's wife had recently welcomed their first child and Miller wanted to spend more time with his family in Australia.

Miller stepped away from wrestling for a few months until he decided to make his return to Japan. Miller competed in the 2019 New Japan Cup and was unveiled as the newest member of Chaos.

Now known under the ring name Mikey Nicholls, the former WWE star was eliminated from the tournament in the second round by Kazuchika Okada. Miller went on to team with fellow former WWE star Juice Robinson to compete unsuccessfully for the IWGP Tag Team Championships later that year.

Miller has also been wrestling in his home country for a promotion called Explosive Pro Wrestling.
