James Drake of the Grizzled Young Vets announced today that WWE had denied his requested release from his current contract:
As of today, WWE has denied my request for my release.
— James Drake (@JamesDrake_GYV) April 25, 2023
I want to thank you all for your support throughout my career, I'll never take that for granted.
My contract with WWE expires on 14th October 2023.
I'm excited to share our next chapter, once we are free agents.
Fightful.com had reported some time back that Drake and his partner Zack Gibson had requested releases from the company. As Jagger Reid and Rip Fowler, they are currently part of The Schism with Joe Gacy and Ava.
Rip Fowler later posted the same message:
Today WWE have denied our release, which was requested on April 3rd.
— Rip Fowler (@RipFowlerWWE) April 25, 2023
On 15th Oct '23 we will be free agents again.
I personally want to thank all of our fans for your continued support, it means a lot to both of us especially during times like these! We'll see you on the 16th!
