Two recently released WWE NXT talents have publicly addressed claims that their departures stemmed from a perceived lack of effort during training. Over the weekend, WWE cut 17 talents, most from NXT, sparking speculation about the reasons behind the decision.

During Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer reported that a company source indicated several NXT releases occurred because those individuals were seen as not putting in enough work during training.

Many of those cut were perceived as not working hard in training. And if you don’t work hard in training, there’s so many people who do. At this point, if the feeling is you’re not working hard in training – I saw the term ‘lazy’ – the ones who are lazy are gonna be gone.

Gigi Dolin, one of the released stars, strongly disputed the claim. She emphasized her rigorous training schedule, which included 3-4 weekly sessions with a demanding coach, daily workouts, and frequent live events.
