PWInsider.com is told that those released today from the WWE NXT system were told that budget cuts were the reason for the releases.
We are also told the initial plan was for cuts to come about three weeks ago but the decision was made to wait. Cuts began to be made about 11 AM this morning.
As of 30 minutes ago, there were no new additional cuts.
Those released: Vanessa Bourne - A former professional cheerleader who was initially trained at the Knokx Pro Academy under Rikishi. She was signed in April 2016. Bourne had been moved to the Raw roster but never actually debuted. She had not been seen at the PC in some time but was present at some NXT TV tapings. There were some surprised by this release given her upside and the fact she had been given zero chance on the main roster.
