NXT Star Andre Chase Addresses WWE Release, ‘The Chapter Is Closed On My WWE Career, But My Chapter Is Not Closed On Professional Wrestling’

WWE

NXT star Andre Chase posted a video on social media today announcing he had been released from his WWE contract.

Chase is one of numerous WWE releases today – you can find the full list here.

In the video, he states:

“As of today I’ve officially been released from my WWE contract, and I just want to say thank you. Thank you for all the support. Thank you to everybody who threw up the U at the shows, bought my t-shirt, bought my action figure, played me on WWE 2K, just know you truly helped make something out of nothing.

“When I signed with WWE on the first day it was made abundantly clear I was never gonna be on television, I was never meant to be a superstar, I was just here to pass on my knowledge to a younger generation.

“Then something changed, and it was because of your support. It was because of the connection we had. Suddenly I had whole arenas chanting Chase U and spelling Chase U, and I’m forever grateful to everybody who helped me get to that point. We won championships in WWE and that was definitely something you guys did, and I’m so grateful for it.

“So thank you so much, the chapter is closed on my WWE career, but my chapter is not closed on professional wrestling, so stay tuned, and hopefully I’m gonna be in a town near you very soon.”

WWE Made Big Mistake With Chase U

WWE made a big mistake with Chase U towards the end of 2024 when the group split up via Ridge Holland defeating Andre Chase.

This led to the departures of Riley Osborne and Duke Hudson almost immediately afterwards, and left Andre Chase and Thea Hail directionless on TV.

One of the most popular acts in NXT was gone for seemingly no good reason, and unfortunately the majority of its members are no longer with WWE – Thea Hail being the only one that remains.
