Recently Released WWE Superstar Refused To Work Evolve

May 5, 2025 Off By Tim Jarrell

A new issue has come to light for a released WWE Superstar.

Last Friday, WWE released over a dozen superstars from the roster. The word going around was that most may have been due to age, high salary, or not progressing in their skills. Yet it seems like there may be more to it when it comes to one NXT Superstar.

Riley Osborne was among the 17 let go by WWE last week. According to Bryan Alvarez, he noted how Osborne refused to work the Evolve brand and that could have played a factor in him being released by WWE.

“There are people they want to help put Evovle, and I was told he did not want to go to EVOLVE. He made it very well known.”

Not it is not know that this was the reason Osborne was let go by the company but it for sure did not look good on him as others in NXT did work matches on EVOLVE.
