Three NXT Stars Released Quietly

WWE has released three NXT Superstars from their development deals without an official announcement, according to the latest edition of Wrestling Observer Newsletter.

The stars that have been released include Tian Bing, Jason Cheng, and Gabriel Ealy. It’s worth mentioning that Gabriel’s twin brother Uriel Ealy was released from his development contract back in June this year as well.

Tian Bing was signed by the company back in 2016. The Chinese star was brought into the promotion with a lot of hype and it’s a surprise that he was released so quietly.

Bing did appear in this week’s episode of NXT where he teamed up with Rocky to face Oney Lorcan and Danny Burch. Bing’s team lost this bout.

He was signed by WWE when they went to China looking for their next big star from the region. Tian Bing competed in the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal at WrestleMania 33 and it was probably the biggest match of his career.

Jason Cheng who also goes by the name Cheng Yuxiang was signed with 6 other Chinese recruits 2 years ago. He competed in several NXT episodes and Live Events but rarely won.

Gabriel Ealy who was signed alongside his twin brother Uriel Ealy competed in a team called the Ealy Brothers but their team also did not achieve much during their time in the company.
