The claim within WWE is that the three departures — Indi Hartwell, Tegan Nox, and Baron Corbin — are the only ones leaving in this round
For Hartwell and Nox, we’re working to find out if their deals were coming up in 90 days or if they were releases. pic.twitter.com/5gvNCQtJ2Z

Corbin confirmed the end of his 12-year WWE run.

Wishing the best to Baron Corbin, Indi Hartwell, and Tegan Nox.
This is incredibly heartbreaking but it’s not the end of the road. 🙏 pic.twitter.com/0qlQ0QTeZF

TAPE @tapemachines

even if he never has another run somewhere, current small children as young adults in 20 years are going to watch old footage of Baron Corbin and “reclaim” him. he was better than a lot of what he got saddled with and he gave serious effort to whatever they gave him.

Baron Corbin has apparently retired or been released from WWE.
THIS HURTS, MAN… 🥲
I was really enjoying his tag team run with Apollo Crews on SmackDown. Gonna miss it. pic.twitter.com/wR2oTx3cE7

Baron Corbin since joining the WWE:
12 years
1102 matches
1x US Champion (2017)
1x NXT Tag Team Champion (2024)
Retired Kurt Angle At Wrestlemania 35
Underutilized and Underrated. pic.twitter.com/1jKz7qnhpb

Bringing this back to remind you that Baron Corbin was given so much shit that he didn’t deserve to be given but gave it his all to make it work and he didn’t get his rewards that many felt he deserved.
He was a WWE Champion without being recognized as one in many people’s… https://t.co/BWAMQam3vS

Really sucks Baron Corbin has been released from WWE.
Been a fan of him since Lone Wolf days of NXT.
Always gave everything to every angle, gimmick and storyline given to him.
Very talented guy, will be an asset elsewhere. pic.twitter.com/EtG5TNmuaS

Fraser Porter @TheFraserPorter

Genuinely gutted about Baron Corbin leaving WWE, one of the most underrated guys in the past 10 years

This is crazy.
I will stand on that Baron Corbin did everything asked of him and more. His Jim Johnson theme is one of my favorite of all themes.
Tegan and Indi do not make sense to me. https://t.co/USRpy1BQaJ

Bringing Tegan Nox back only to barely use her and then release her/not re-sign her is nasty business.

𝕵𝖆𝖒𝖊𝖘 🎃 @JacysAttraction

they really played in Tegan Nox’s face wasting 2 years of her life for her to get what..like..not even 5 wins on TV? pic.twitter.com/Dv23gnGRQW

Kimi Martinez #JB17 🩵 @KimiMtz17

Well, it had to happen, I’m afraid… just like last time, getting drafted to a show and not being used at all, how the hell can you fumble Tegan Nox THE SAME WAY TWICE!!!! Anyway, I’ve supported @TeganNoxWWE since 2016, and I’ll keep supporting her wherever she goes next ❤️ pic.twitter.com/yiXUcX0v9X

zack-o-lantern @thefluxandflow

imagine having indi hartwell, tegan nox and baron corbin and just…letting all three walk with some of the people you feature on television weekly that are absolutely stinking the joint out

✮ @LIV4M0NE

any wrestling company would be lucky to have indi hartwell, tegan nox & baron corbin. we finally are going to get to see what they really can do. best of luck to them. they’ll shine no matter where they go. pic.twitter.com/yMpDNGbmB4

I’ll never forget being in building when Tegan Nox suffered that devastating injury during the Mae Young Classic. She really showed her toughness with all the ups and downs she overcame in #WWE. Lots of options out there for women’s wrestling today she would be a great fit for.

They really never gave Indi Hartwell a shot.

Good luck to both Tegan Nox and Indi Hartwell, whether they continue wrestling or not. Wishing them both the best! pic.twitter.com/C5cngPVOHN

Corbin wrestled in WWE for 12 years, with his first five occurring in NXT before getting the call-up to the main roster. He made appearances again with NXT during his final couple years. His accolades include the WWE United States Championship, the NXT Tag Team Championship with Bron Breakker, the André the Giant Memorial Battle Royal title (2016), the 2019 King of the Ring and the 2017 Money in the Bank.

Nox signed with WWE in 2017 and landed with NXT for the next four years. She suffered a serious knee injury at the 2018 Mae Young Classic and missed nearly a year of in-ring action. Another torn ACL two years later forced her out for nine months.

Nox was released in Nov. 2021 but returned after a year. Ultimately, injuries significantly hindered her WWE ceiling and potential, and it’s very possible she truly finds success elsewhere with better health and a greater chance.

Hartwell was a member of NXT from 2019-2023 before joining the main roster. She found much success in NXT, winning the Women’s Championship once and the Tag Team titles once with Candice LeRae. She and LeRae notably wrestled for the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship against The Kabuki Warriors at Elimination Chamber: Perth, falling in February.
