WWE Took Care Of Alexander Wolfe After NXT Release

Alexander Wolfe was among the names of NXT talent who were cut last week. His situation was a bit different, because he wasn’t technically released. His contract was coming to an end and the he did not sign a new deal.

WWE came to terms with the release of Alexander Wolfe instead of outright cutting him. He holds no sour grapes over the situation, because WWE still took care of him after the fact.

While speaking to Inside The Ropes, Wolfe explained that WWE paid for his flight home. They also provided him with different compensation due to his unique situation.

WWE didn’t release me but it was not my choice. It wasn’t my choice. If I had the choice, I probably would stay with WWE because it’s the biggest company and again, it’s very comfortable to work for them because you make a lot of money with doing nothing. I still went to the Performance Center and used the facility as a tool for life for my own, like, brand. But yeah, WWE told me, “Hey, we will not release you but your contract is up on June 15th, so we will let you run out the contract and then, on June 16th, you’re off to go,” which I really appreciate because I kind of got the 30 day complete a no compete clause, but not really. So they give me the heads up four weeks ahead.

I have a lot of work to do now just to get rid of all the household and then just move back to Germany. Yeah, it’s OK. But like, fair enough. I have to say, even if a lot of people just spitting venom right now and say, “Yeah, F*ck WWE,” and everything, so they always take care of the talents and they are even fair enough because I will go back to Germany because I need to because of visa reason, they paid for my flight back. They are very kind in communicating with me just, for example, because of moving reasons, I ask them to pay me out completely out of the contract – that I not get still the weekly salary and they are cool with that. They even asked me if I want to have it.

So you can be negative about as much as you want but even me being pissed off about the reason they let me go, I have to say fair play to them because they always took care of me, they always been very kind and very professional.

We will have to see what is next for Alexander Wolfe. The former Imperium member is already selling his gear and looking to start the next chapter in his career. The book is far from closed for him at this point.
