NXT tag team requests release

Fightful can confirm that the former Grizzled Young Vets, Jagger Reid and Rip Fowler have requested their releases from WWE. They've been involved with Schism of late on NXT.

We haven't heard a reason why they've asked for their releases, but they're expected to announce themselves shortly as well. The duo has been in NXT for over three years. 

Both men are veterans of over a decade, and are expected to be in demand on the US indie scene, in addition to the UK. 

We can't speak to their visa situation, but generally there's a non-compete associated with requested releases, and then a grace period following that they'd be able to work in the states.

I don’t blame them. The Schism gimmick is so dumb, and it’s not helping anyone get over.

Leron Ford

Hoping they stay as a tag team. So many matches I’d love to see them in many different companies

And sssssssoon to be free agents.

GYV was my fav act in nxt uk. Absolutely hated the schism crap they were doing. Zack Gibson in particular is such an incredible heel. Hope AEW picks them up

Elaquent

They'd be a great fit for Impact's tag division

Michael Solko

I don’t blame them at all. GYV joining united empire could be awesome 👀

Ty Jans

I definitely get it, I really hope we see FTR/GYV whether that's AEW or at an indie show. That's just one amazing matchup they could have.

Joe Donovan

Soon to be All Elite, hopefully

HP Beardster

Hopefully this is the only request WWE get after this Wrestlemania. At the same time why wouldn't they bring up the GYV, to bolster the tag division...

NXT is really losing momentum. HBK needs to retool it yet again and fast.

Vicki Langteau

I'd ask for my release too if I was attached to Joe Gacy's dead act

Dave O'Neill

Can’t blame them. Nxt is an out and out toilet. I’d love them to go to impact or even gcw
