One of NXT’s top prospects might be moving onto different endeavors. Squared Circle Sirens owner Casey has a great track record of WWE Performance Center scoops and he tweeted out earlier today that he had heard a wrestler quit NXT. He later revealed it was Stacey Ervin Jr. and that it was due to a concussion scare. WWE reportedly told Ervin Jr. to take his time to come to a decision, but it seems that he’s done with professional wrestling.
He was given some time to think about it but people think he's 100% done. He had what I'm told was a concussion scare and that's what did him in.

The former gymnastics champion had received rave reviews for his aerial skills. So, this is truly sad news. However, one can’t fault him for wanting to preserve his health first and foremost.
