WWE Stock Hits Lowest Mark In Nine Years, Hawkins & Reks "Fired" From NXT, Jericho-Phoenix

– On Wednesday, WWE's stock price set a new 52-week low and closed at its lowest mark since April 2003. The stock closed at $7.96 per share after setting a 52-week low of $7.95 per share. It is also the first time the stock price has closed under $8.00 per share since April 2003.

NXT authority figure William Regal fired both Curt Hawkins and Tyler Reks on this week's NXT episode (watch here) after pitting the perennial troublemakers against each other in a match in which their jobs were at stake.

Hawkins addressed his termination on Twitter, writing, "Future Endeavored. Anybody hiring a ridiculously good looking pro wrestler with exceptional hair? Damn you #NXT."

This week's episode of NXT also features Johnny Curtis vs. Percy Watson and Kaitlyn vs. Maxine.

– Beth Phoenix and Chris Jericho are scheduled to appear on French television show The Grand Journal this Friday to promote the evening's Raw live event in Paris, France.
