WWE reportedly wanted to retain recently released star; unfortunate contract dispute details surface

A recent report has shed light on WWE’s plans to retain a popular star with a multi-year contract. However, the deal could not be closed for one major reason. The star in question is none other than Jazmyn Nyx of NXT.Jazmyn Nyx was a popular name in World Wrestling Entertainment’s developmental brand. She was a major part of Fatal Influence, which also included the current NXT Women’s Champion Jacy Jayne and Fallon Henley.After nearly three years, Nyx’s career with the Stamford-based promotion has come to an end. She confirmed on her Instagram that she was not happy with the contract offered to her and decided to leave the company to focus on other career options in her life, as it would not make financial sense for her.According to a recent report by Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful, WWE wanted to retain Jazmyn Nyx but didn’t want to change their offer. The report also highlighted that, according to someone backstage within the developmental brand, Nyx was making $75,000, and the same amount was offered to her in the new multi-year deal.As mentioned above, Jazmyn herself stated that the amount she was offered didn’t make sense financially. This contract dispute was a major reason she left the company.
