New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE

Abbey Laith aka Kimber Lee signed with WWE ahead of the Mae Young Classic. She made a handful of appearances in NXT but it never amounted to anything and she was released in March 2018.

She returned to the indies following her release from WWE and entered STARDOM's 2018 5-Star Grand Prix but could not manage to qualify for the finals.

Laith said the following after her release from WWE:

"Dear @WWENXT and @WWE ..... Thank You. Thank you for all the opportunities you gave me in the last year. Thank you for everything I was taught and I wouldn’t trade that chapter of my life for anything. Now my path may be changing, but the Crown Jewel is still very much alive"

James Ellsworth

James Ellsworth made his WWE debut as enhancement talent for Braun Strowman. He later returned to SmackDown and was put in a feud between AJ Styles and Dean Ambrose. The last part of his career in WWE saw him paired with Carmella and he helped her win the first ever women's Money In The Bank ladder match. He was fired in 2017 before being brought back on a contract basis in 2018 during Carmella's feud with Asuka. Ellsworth was finally let go once again in July 2018.

Ellsworth seemed all set for a bright future on the indies but he courted controversy soon after. Ellsworth was accused of sending inappropriate pictures to an underage girl and this has definitely hurt his career. It has also effectively killed a chance of a future WWE return (probably).

Nick Miller signed for WWE along with tag-team partner Shane Thorne. An untimely injury to Thorne, caused them to miss significant time early on in their career. However, as soon as they started picking up steam again, Miller asked for his release stating that he wanted to be at home in Australia with his family.

Miller recently made his debut for New Japan Pro Wrestling.

Rich Swann made his WWE debut during the Cruiserweight Classic and later won the WWE Cruiserweight Championship while on 205 Live.

He was another Superstar who was released in 2018 after a public altercation with his wife. The release came after an initial suspension and took place even though charges were never pressed against him.

Following his release, he wrestled in MLW before signing for Impact Wrestling where he currently wrestles.

Enzo and Cass

Enzo Amore and Big Cass were a big prospect in NXT and they got over on the main roster immediately. They had the whole WWE Universe chanting along with their catchphrase every night but WWE saw fit to break them up.

Enzo was moved to 205 Live while Cass was pushed as a singles star. Enzo was fired after RAW's 25 Anniversary after WWE found out that police were investigating allegations against him and he never informed WWE about it. Big Cass was released in June.

Enzo and Cass recently reunited and made their Ring of Honor debut after crashing the ROH G1 Supercard in Madison Square Garden.
