** ORIGINAL STORY **
Brian Kendrick is no longer under contract to WWE, per report.
Last week, it was reported by PWInsider that Brian Kendrick requested his release from WWE and had been waiting for an update on his status for over a month. In a follow-up to that report, Fightful Select independently confirmed that Kendrick has been granted his release.
Kendrick had been working for WWE as a producer and a coach for the NXT and 205 Live programs.
On 12/15, Kendrick appeared on NXT 2.0 and was tossed down a flight of stairs by Harland. He later put out a video on social media to address Harland and it was confirmed that Kendrick would be taking on Harland in singles competition. When it came time for the match, while Harland and Joe Gacy were waiting in the ring, Kendrick’s theme song played but he did not appear.
Kendrick’s most recent match was in October of 2020.
