Oro Mensah Released By WWE, Javier Bernal Rumored To Also Be Released (UPDATED)
Oro Mensah has officially announced his departure from WWE, bringing an end to his run with the company.
Taking to Twitter, Mensah wrote, “15 years hard work and true sacrifice to make it to WWE. Always gave it my 110% and put my whole passion and body into the artform of pro-wrestling. Thank you for all the support! love y‘all.”
Mensah signed with WWE in 2019, initially performing under the name Oliver Carter in NXT UK, where he became an NXT UK Tag Team Champion.

His final appearance came on this week’s episode of NXT, where Meta-Four — Mensah, Jakara Jackson, Lash Legend, and Noam Dar — amicably decided to disband.
While not confirmed, there are some reports that Javier Bernal has been released as well.
UPDATE: Bernel has confirmed his release, as you can see below:
