NXT tag team requests release
Added 2023-04-03 15:41:12 +0000 UTCFightful 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.

2023-04-03 21:39:53 +0000 UTCGYV 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

2023-04-03 19:48:05 +0000 UTCI don’t blame them at all. GYV joining united empire could be awesome 👀

2023-04-03 16:40:20 +0000 UTCI 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.

2023-04-03 16:03:45 +0000 UTCHopefully 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...
2023-04-03 16:02:03 +0000 UTCNXT is really losing momentum. HBK needs to retool it yet again and fast.

2023-04-03 15:58:10 +0000 UTCI'd ask for my release too if I was attached to Joe Gacy's dead act
