On September 14, all major sources reported a shocking development: former United States and NXT Champion Andrade had left World Wrestling Entertainment for the second time.

The report suggested that WWE tried to reach out to the Mexican superstar multiple times, but he was "unreachable," which ultimately led to his release from the sports entertainment giant.

#2. Jazmyn Nyx

Nyx was a prominent star on the NXT brand and was looked at as one with massive potential to become a top star in the near future. However, on the September 23 edition of NXT, Jazmyn was kicked out of her heel stable, Fatal Influence, and was written off with it.

Later, Jazmyn took to her official Instagram account to reveal that she has decided to decline her new three-year extension offered by the company. She explained that the contract provided to her didn't align with her financial needs. Therefore, she chose to opt out and quit.

#1. Edris Enofe

Nyx wasn't the only NXT superstar who departed from the World Wrestling Entertainment. Within one week of her leaving the company, Edris Enofe posted a video clip of himself on his official X/Twitter account, revealing that he was quitting WWE.

In the video clip, Enofe revealed that he had been thinking about leaving the Stamford-based promotion for a long time, and now he felt it was the perfect time. He went with his gut on that. He also thanked his fellow superstars, referees, creatives, and officials, as well as his coaches.
