CJ Parker has been released by WWE and is no longer under contract.

The WWE NXT roster just had a somewhat major shakeup. According to PWInsider, CJ Parker has been released from his contract by WWE.

CJ Parker was released from his WWE NXT deal this past Saturday. I am told Parker requested his release and it was granted on amicable terms. In fact, the parting was so amicable that WWE allowed him to wrestle on the Saturday and Sunday AXXESS sessions to finish him out.

Parker has largely been an enhancement talent during his time in WWE NXT. He most notably jobbed to Baron Corbin in his “debut” at NXT TakeOver: Fatal 4-Way and to Kevin Owens at TakeOver: R Evolution.

With the new talent coming in waves to NXT, Parker’s chance of being pushed became slimmer by the signing. He has not had a notable feud since facing off with Xavier Woods well over a year ago. Both of those factors are speculated, but likely contributed to requesting his release.

The last match for Parker on NXT TV was against Alex Riley. This was The Analyst’s first match back as a wrestler, which involved him defeating Parker.

Are you disappointed to see CJ Parker being gone from the company?
