Another NXT Superstar could be set to follow Johnny Gargano and Kyle O’Reilly out the door

With Kyle O'Reilly and Johnny Gargano gone, could Roderick Strong be the next one on his way out of WWE NXT? Strong was a prominent figure in the cruiserweight division. The breakdown of the division has left the star's future up in the air.

On the latest edition of Wrestling Observer Live, Bryan Alvarez commented on tonight's match between former NXT United Kingdom Champion WALTER and Roderick Strong. He didn't sound too hopeful for Strong's future in WWE.

"WALTER will be facing Roderick Strong on Tuesday night. God, I hope they give this match time," Bryan Alvarez said. "I don’t know what the future is for Roderick Strong, (..) Roderick Strong was the Cruiserweight Champion. They’re getting rid of the cruiserweight belt. Clearly, they don’t want cruiserweights. And I believe Roderick Strong just opened up a PW Tees store, so I don’t know what the future is for this guy."

Could Roderick Strong follow his wife's path from NXT to AEW?

While Roderick Strong did sign a new contract with WWE last year, we have seen time and time again that these deals don't really mean anything. Strong also recently opened up his own PWTees store, this is significant because superstars usually have their merch sold through WWE Shop.

Strong's wife Marina Shafir has recently found herself working matches for All Elite Wrestling and this could be a determining factor as the NXT star decides his future.

Alvarez doesn't know Strong's WWE future but expects him to get destroyed by WALTER tonight.

"I don’t know if we’ll know more tonight, but I expected him to be destroyed by WALTER," Bryan Alvarez continued. "Who knows what his future is from there, but my guess is Roderick Strong will also not be in the Royal Rumble."
