Sam Gradwell joins the growing list of NXT UK stars who will be hitting the open market.
On August 19, WWE announced that NXT UK will go on hiatus ahead of the launch of NXT Europe in 2023. Several members of the roster subsequently confirmed their releases, and Gradwell became the latest.
In a tweet on August 19, he confirmed that he will enter free agency on September 23.
Honestly, you should SEE what I’ve become.
Abnormal intelligence, maximum testosterone, high bone density.
September 23rd, I’m a free agent. pic.twitter.com/cDVJ8cLtz5
