Dabba-Kato comments on his WWE release.
On September 21, 2023, Dabba-Kato (Commander Azeez) was released from his WWE contract. Kato was part of the NXT brand, and had just lost to Tyler Bate on the September 5th episode of NXT.
Speaking to Developmentally Speaking, Kato was asked if he was surprised when he was released.
"I think I kind of sensed it. My contract was coming to an end anyway. We already had conversations long before it was close to that. Now, we came pretty close, I started pushing stuff and I could feel there was nothing great planned for me. You get that feeling and I had that feeling the day was going to come. I lived through so many cuts. It happened to so many guys before me. You can prepare yourself a little bit for it. You can prepare yourself financially and mentally, which I didn't think would be as hard as it was," he said.
Kato has since appeared for Prime Time Wrestling (PTW) following his release.
