WWE has released more than 50 wrestlers since the start of the year, and according to a new report from the Wrestling Observer’s Dave Meltzer more are on the way. The Observer’s Bryan Alvarez dropped a report on Wednesday stating that Vince McMahon and Bruce Prichard would be producing NXT beginning in mid-September, prompting fans to get “#RIPNXT” trending over fear that the Black and Yellow Brand would now resemble Monday Night Raw and Friday Night SmackDown. Meltzer disputed that report, saying (h/t WrestlingNews.co), “The story that Vince and Bruce would be executive producers I was told is not the case but then again I don’t even know who knows what right now because everything is in transition. Most of the people in NXT don’t know anything but I was told that the big picture stuff, they are taking over. The new logo [is] from what I had heard Kevin Dunn but it’s from that side. The major stuff it’s gonna be them but they’re not gonna be producing every segment of the show, I don’t think.”
