Wwe Reportedly Fires Controversial Nxt Referee Drake Wuertz

WWE has reportedly cut ties with NXT referee Drake Wuertz, according to a new report from Fightful Select’s Sean Ross Sapp. Sapp tweeted on Wednesday afternoon, “Word among talent and staff at the WWE Performance Center is that referee Drake Wuertz has been let go. I’ve reached out to WWE for a confirmation on this, and clarity on the situation.” Fellow referee Jake Clemons was reportedly let go as well.

Word among talent and staff at the WWE Performance Center is that referee Drake Wuertz has been let go. I’ve reached out to WWE for a confirmation on this, and clarity on the situation.

In the past 3 weeks, multiple WWE and NXT Superstars told me they believed Drake Wuertz was racist, and felt uncomfortable around him at the WWE Performance Center. One noted they even felt odd with him reffing closed-door matches at the PC.

This seemed like it was inevitable.
