NXT wrestlers Rip Fowler (Jack Rea) and Jagger Reid (James Dowell) stated via social media that WWE rejected their requests to be released from their contracts. Both men posted similar statements (available below) that include listing their deals expiring in mid-October.
Powell’s POV: It was previously reported that the duo was granted their contractual releases by WWE, but obviously that turned out not to be the case. It will be interesting to see what’s next for the duo less than six months from now.
Today WWE have denied our release, which was requested on April 3rd.
On 15th Oct ’23 we will be free agents again.
I personally want to thank all of our fans for your continued support, it means a lot to both of us especially during times like these! We’ll see you on the 16th!

As of today, WWE has denied my request for my release.
I want to thank you all for your support throughout my career, I’ll never take that for granted.
My contract with WWE expires on 14th October 2023.
I’m excited to share our next chapter, once we are free agents.
