Duke Hudson Released Due to WWE's Vision Issues

Duke Hudson, a former NXT Tag Team Champion, has been released from WWE despite his notable contributions to Chase U and his partnership with Andre Chase. His release reportedly stems from WWE's lack of vision for him as a main roster star, and Hudson expressed disappointment in a self-reflective video. Meanwhile, NXT saw a surprise appearance from JDC, formerly known as Fandango, who announced a match for the Heritage Cup following format changes by current champion Lexis King. Despite setbacks, Hudson remains optimistic about his future, while changes in NXT continue to shape storylines and opportunities for returning and new talent.
