WWE has reportedly released Nigel McGuinness just a day after Triple H's shake-up of the company's current commentary team.
According to a report from PWInsider, the former Ring of Honor World Champion was let go earlier this week.
While in WWE, McGuinness initially started as an announcer for the WWE UK Classic. He later became the lead announcer for NXT and was a crucial figure in NXT UK, Main Event, and 205 Live.
The 46-year-old signed with the company back in 2016. Considered one of the most prolific wrestlers of his generation, McGuinness never stepped foot in a WWE ring having retired as an in-ring competitor years ago.
A prominent figure in Ring of Honor history, McGuinness won the ROH Pure Championship once, apart from the World Title. With Ring of Honor now acquired by AEW President Tony Khan, it remains to be seen if he decides to bring McGuinness back to the company.
Interestingly enough, WWE recently shook up their commentary teams, bringing back former announcer Cathy Kelley to the company in the process. Whereas, Wade Barrett has been promoted to SmackDown from NXT, but there was no mention of the 46-year-old.
