A neck injury that Leo suffered while training back in August may have played a part in the departure. He was recently cleared to return to action but the injury was said to be very serious.
As noted, former SAnitY member Sawyer Fulton was also released from NXT today.
Leo took to Twitter and wrote the following today after being informed of the release:
