WWE made the latest round of talent cuts on Friday night that hit NXT hard, as 12 people were released by the company.
While WWE President Nick Khan has been given plenty of power from Vince McMahon to make changes within the company, Khan is not the person behind the roster cuts as it’s ultimately decided by Vince McMahon.
On the latest Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer that Khan likely is looking at the budget and then recommending which contracts might not make financial sense, but if McMahon doesn’t want to let go of a certain talent then he won’t.
Additionally, it was noted these cuts were downsizing for NXT because the roster had “too many people.” Right now, Vince McMahon reportedly wants to bring in bigger guys and also younger guys.
