Former WWE NXT UK Superstar Dave Mastiff has said that the roster wasn’t given much time to process the brand’s imminent end before news went public.
In August, WWE announced that NXT UK would be going on a “brief hiatus,” ahead of the launch of NXT Europe.
Not long after, WWE released the majority of NXT UK talent, including Mastiff.
Speaking to Pwmania, Mastiff said how news of the releases was immediately followed by the press release, and the roster cuts came shortly after.
“We had a meeting and we’re told it was closing. We were told the Europe thing was in the pipeline.
“They then made a press release seconds after. Then we all got the calls releasing us.”
Speaking about NXT Europe, Mastiff said he has heard nothing, and that WWE needs to do “a lot of work.”
Addressing a possible return to WWE, Mastiff said the promotion would have to make “the right offer.”
WWE NXT UK ended at the NXT Worlds Collide event which saw champions from both NXT UK and NXT face off.
