Scott Armstrong was part of the WWE staff releases made on Wednesday with WWE saying the releases were part of "the continued evolution of NXT 2.0."
Armstrong had been with WWE since 2006 -- he was furloughed in April 2020, but brought back in October 2020 -- where he worked as a referee and timing out shows. He oversaw a lot of the refereeing in NXT.
Taking to social media, Armstrong posted a statement on his release.
