Former WWE NXT referee Stephon Smith commented on his WWE release via Twitter on Thursday. He said,
“I’ve had some time to reflect and I want to say I feel great and I’m in a positive mindset. I’ve doubled down on my time in the gym and I’m 100% ready to continue my path as a referee. I’d like to thank Triple H, Scott Armstrong, and everyone at NXT for being a pleasure to work with and for providing me with skills and opportunities that go beyond refereeing.”
Smith will be free to work for any wrestling organization starting on September 9th.
