NXT UK star Ligero has been released from WWE.
According to PWInsider, sources within the company have confirmed he has been released, with his profile removed from the website over the last hour.
Ligero was accused of abuse by multiple women as part of the #SpeakingOut movement on social media.
Independent Wrestler Natalie Sykes wrote a post on Twitter detailing her uncomfortable encounters with Ligero

Ligero issued a statement on Twitter, denying some allegations, and admitting to sending unwanted messages.
The current story that has been released by Violet O鈥橦ara/Claire-Michelle Oldfield is neither accurate nor true.
This is a completely false allegation and whilst I鈥檝e done other things in my life that I deeply regret, this isn鈥檛 an accurate or truthful portrayal of events.
This is something I strongly deny and is something I鈥檝e been in the process of speaking to a legal team about.
Regarding the other statements from people like Laura, Natalie who have spoken out about the way they were made to feel, and others that have come forward about unwanted messages, I have no excuse.
It鈥檚 inappropriate, it鈥檚 an embarrassment and it鈥檚 an absolute shameful way to act from someone in a position of trust. I sincerely apologise for my actions and any hurt I鈥檝e caused.
I have no justification of my actions in the slightest. In these situations, I have failed people as a friend, as a fianc茅e and as a decent human being.
Ligero has since deactivated his Twitter account.
