Major WWE Name ‘Taken By Surprise’ By Recent Release

WWE

A major WWE name has revealed that they were ‘taken by surprise’ by a recent release, saying they are welcome back anytime.

NXT interviewer McKenzie Mitchell was released from the company on December 1 in a move that surprised a lot of people, as she had been an important part of the show for the past few years.

Speaking on the pre-NXT Deadline media scrum, Shawn Michaels noted that he was taken by surprise by McKenzie’s release, saying that everyone loves her, and the door is always open for her to return down the road.

He said:

“No, I don’t. McKenzie is always going to be a part of the NXT family. It obviously took me by surprise as well, my understanding is that there are some areas where we have overlapping jobs and there were going to be changes. There are a lot of things that go on in this company that are way above me, and this was obviously one of them.

“Like we always say, the door is always open in the WWE, I think that, in my opinion, McKenzie will always be a part of the NXT family and it doesn’t mean that we can’t revisit that relationship down the road. Obviously, it’s a loss to us in NXT, but the machine, as always, has to continue to roll on and we will obviously do that and miss her greatly because everybody absolutely loves and adores McKenzie.”

NXT Level Up interviewer Kelly Kincaid acted as the primary backstage interviewer on this week’s episode of the show following McKenzie’s departure.
