WWE announced Wednesday it was planning to let some on-screen and backstage personnel go as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The company has since confirmed the departures of numerous wrestlers, including Rusev, Luke Gallows, Karl Anderson and Lio Rush.
Purrazzo most recently competed on the April 6 edition of Raw, losing a squash match to a returning Nia Jax.
She participated in the second Mae Young Classic in 2018, reaching the quarterfinals and losing to eventual runner-up Io Shirai.
Jaksic has been working out of the WWE Performance Center and traveling with NXT but hadn't yet made his on-screen debut.
