Roderick Strong Finished the WWE NXT brand

by

It is now speculated that Roderick Strong may be heading to RAW or SmackDown.

Tonight’s WWE NXT show featured a segment earlier in the show where Strong and his wife Marina Shafir entered the WWE Performance Center. Strong later met NXT General Manager William Regal in his office and handed over an envelope with papers, presumably his message, then said he was “done” in NXT.

Regal admitted that Strong sometimes caused him problems with The Undisputed Era, but said he is a consummate professional and is always welcome at NXT.

WWE later noted that Strong has officially resigned from the NXT brand.

For tonight, Strong was last seen in the storylines during the “Takeover: Stand and Deliver” build for the Adam Cole vs. Kyle O’Reilly feud. He lost to Cameron Grimes at the Takeover go-home show last week and was scheduled to participate in the Battle Royal to determine the Takeover Gauntlet Eliminator contestants, but there was a backstage segment where Strong was shown hitting the venue left.

WWE often calls wrestlers to the main roster around this time of year, but there’s no word yet whether Strong is heading for the blue or red brand. The veteran pro wrestler has been with WWE since October 2016. Shafir signed with WWE in May 2018, but hasn’t had much of a career in the ring.

Stay tuned to learn more about what WWE has planned for Strong and Shafir. Below are a few photos from tonight’s show:
