Harland, who goes by the real name Parker Boudreaux, has been released by WWE on April 29. This was a bit of a shock, but a report came out saying that he just wasn’t progressing in the transition from football to pro wrestling.
According to a report by Fightful, Harland was released by WWE along with Malcolm Bivens, Dakota Kai, Dexter Lumis and more. Harland was signed with WWE in 2021 and was aligned with Joe Gacy. He last wrestled on the March 3rd episode of NXT when he defeated Draco Anthony, who was also fired today.
On April 30th, Harland took to Twitter to share a picture of himself and wrote, “PARKER BOUDREAUX…is back.😈”
Several fans were unhappy with the news of his release and took to Twitter to address their opinions. “Could have been the next big thing. But nah Vince had to make you shave your head and change your name. Vince needs to retire,” onme user wrote. “GROW THAT HAIR BACK ON YA DOME AND LET’S FUCKIN GO!!! Wrestling ain’t over for you just because you’re not with WWE anymore,” wrote another.
There was a lot of hope that he would eventually break out into a major star but shortly after he was signed, the decision was made to shave his head and pair him with Joe Gacy.
Stay tuned to Ringside to see what Harland is up to next.
