NXT wrestler Stacey Ervin Jr. has reportedly requested his release from WWE, according to Casey Michael of Squared Circle Sirens. Michael added that Ervin asked for his release after a recent concussion scare, but was given some time to think about it before it was granted.
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.

Ervin, a former gymnast on the University of Michigan’s 2013 NCAA Championship men’s gymnastics team, signed with WWE in July of 2018 along with Keith Lee, Io Shirai, Deonna Purrazzo and others.
Ervin has mostly wrestled at NXT house shows. He made his first and only NXT TV appearance last month in a tag team match, teaming with Humberto Carrillo in a loss to the Street Profits.
There were reports just last week from the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that WWE was very high on Ervin.
