Jiro Reflects on His Three-Year Journey with WWE

The wrestling world witnessed a series of significant changes following the merger of WWE and UFC last week. Fans braced themselves for the anticipated cuts, and WWE didn’t disappoint, releasing over 100 staff from their headquarters. Among the superstars who faced the axe was Ikemen Jiro, a talent who had showcased his skills in NXT.

Jiro, not one to remain silent, took to Twitter to express his feelings post-release. He conveyed his gratitude for the three years he spent with WWE, cherishing the memories and friendships he forged during his tenure. His tweet read, “Thank you WWE and WWE Universe. I was there just 3 years. There were so many special memories and great friends. What’s next…I will.”

The decision to release Jiro raised eyebrows, especially among the NXT community. His talent and charisma are undeniable, and it’s only a matter of time before he finds a new home in the pro wrestling landscape.
