Hi everyone, I asked for my release from WWE so I can pursue my goals in Crossfit. The past 1.5 years with WWE were incredible. Thank you to my family, friends and fans for all your support. See you on the podium!

The initial report of his departure from WWE entailed that he was let go from the company which led to his fiancée and fellow NXT talent Shadia Bseiso asking to be released as well. Nasser was the first Kuwaiti man to sign with WWE and Shadia became the first Arab woman from the Middle East to sign with WWE. They got engaged this past January and there is a video up on the Fightful Pro Wrestling YouTube channel about their releases.
