Multiple NXT Superstars react to being released by WWE

A number of cuts were announced by WWE last night as a reaction to the COVID-19 outbreak as a cost-cutting procedure. Apart from cuts to salaries of executives, WWE released a number of talent including Gallows and Anderson, Rusev, Lio Rush and Drake Maverick. A number of producers including Lance Storm and Mike Rotunda were also furloughed by the company.

WWE also released a number of Superstars from NXT. One of these released Superstars was MJ Jenkins who is a former May Young Classic competitor. Jenkin's reaction to being released on Twitter was heartbreaking. She revealed that COVID-19 had already taken her legal guardian, her brother-in-law, who passed away from the disease and now she had also lost her dream job. Here's what she said:

Covid-19 has been devastating for me & my family. My brother in law; who was my legal guardian passed away to Covid-19.

Today, Covid-19 stripped me of my dream job. Feels like life is being sucked from me Thank you to everyone that has reached out. Be safe and stay strong
