WWE seemingly confirms new faction name
World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) recently has seemingly confirmed a new faction name for a trio of NXT stars. The approval of the new name came after the company's trademark filings and a tweet by the stars.
The trio stable consists of Bronco Nima, Lucien Price, and SCRYPTS (fka Reggie). The three stars have been working together on TV for quite some time now, and they are involved in a storyline to make it great on the NXT brand.
During this week's edition of NXT, the company showcased a video package of the group as they hustled on the streets for cash.
In the video, Nimo said:
"From the dirt, making it out the mud."
Price replied:
"OTM."
According to reports from WrestleTalk, the Stamford-based promotion also filed a trademark for "Out The Mud" or "OTM." Later, SCRYPTS also took to his Twitter to share a few pictures with Bronco Nima and Lucien Price while stating 'OTM' in his caption.
"OTM 🔥🔥 yurrrp @BRONCO_WWE @Lucien_wwe aye talk to em. #outthemud #stlmade #nxt #blessed," he wrote.
Check out the NXT star's tweet below:
International star released from WWE NXT contract
Several stars from the main roster and the developmental brand have been let go on September 21, 2023. The possible reasons for releasing talents could be due to budget cuts and an apparent huge SmackDown deal with the USA Network.
Among big names such as Dolph Ziggler, Shelton Benjamin, and others, Ikemen Jiro was fired from WWE. The Japanese wrestler had a very short stint with the company, where he formed a tag team with Kushida as Jacket Time and performed on the NXT LVL Up.
The 31-year-old star is set to appear on television for his final match despite being released from World Wrestling Entertainment. This is because the 22nd September episode of LVL Up was taped at the Performance Center before this week's NXT episode.
Only time will tell how the Stamford-based promotion utilizes Reggie, Nima, and Price ahead of their time on the developmental brand.
