Andre Chase publicly thanks Duke Hudson for his contributions to Chase U.
On February 3, Sean Ross Sapp reported that WWE had released Duke Hudson in January 2025. Before his release, Hudson was a key part of Andre Chase University (Chase U) alongside Thea Hail, Riley Osborne, and the group's namesake, Andre Chase. Hudson and Chase even captured the NXT Tag Titles.
Andre Chase has now taken to X to give Hudson his flowers, thank him for all he did for the group, and call him the real MVP, referencing an award that was given to Hudson on the NXT TV show.
I just wanted to publicly thank Duke Hudson for all of his hard work and contributions to Chase U.

Hudson is not finished wrestling. He recently posted about his next moves, which you can learn more about here.
Andre Chase lost Chase U in a match to Ridge Holland at the end of 2024. He still appears on NXT TV, but Riley and Thea have not since the group disbanded.
