UPDATED: More On WWE Exits of Tegan Nox, Baron Corbin & Indi Hartwell

UPDATE: A new report has some additional detail on Tegan Nox, Baron Corbin and Indi Hartwell’s WWE releases. As noted, Corbin was informed that his WWE contract was not being extended while Nox and Hartwell were released. Fightful Select reports that while it is not confirmed, it is speculated internally in WWE that Corbin’s contract runs through the end of the year. Several indie talent have already expressed interest in him and one top booker said they hoped he would continue wrestling.

Nox and Hartwell both have 90-day noncompete clauses that will allow them to wrestle elsewhere starting in February 2025. Nox has been off TV for over six months and hadn’t been booked for dark matches or live events at some time, though she was occasionally backstage at Smackdown tapings.

Hartwell’s release was surprising and she worked a match at the Smackdown tapings last week that are airing as of this writing. Several staff and talent in WWE felt she was coming into her own recently with her social media skits. While it is not confirmed, it is likely that Nox and Hartwell will need to have their visas sorted to continue wrestling in the US.

Hartwell posted to Twitter to say “Wait, what?” in response to Sean Ross Sapp’s tweet about her release, which the site reports is a rib. Hartwell did not find out about it through the tweet and Fightful doesn’t report on releases until talent know about it already. Hartwell went on to post a second tweet, which read “Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened.”

Nox posted to Twitter to confirm her release, writing:

“Some things are just out of your control and you can only do as much as you can. Let’s clear one thing up though. I’m ready. Ive been ready. Just have to show people what they’ve missed.”

ORIGINAL: Baron Corbin, Indi Hartwell, and Tegan Nox are all departing WWE. Fightful’s Sean Ross Sapp reports that the three are exiting the company. Nox and Hartwell were released and will be free agents in 90 days, while Corbin was given notice by WWE that his contract would not be renewed.

Corbin confirmed his exit from the company in a post to Twitter, writing:

“That’s all she wrote folks.

It’s been real and I appreciate everyone who supported me.”

As of now, neither Nox nor Hartwell have commented on their exits. Sapp noted that sources in WWE have said that the three are the only ones leaving in this round of cuts.

That’s all she wrote folks. ✌🏼
