According to Pro Wrestling Sheet, WWE NXT star HoHo Lun has asked for, and was granted, his release from WWE.

The report notes a rep from WWE issued the following statement on Lun’s release request, which was made so he could deal with a family situation:

“WWE has granted HoHo Lun’s request to be released for personal reasons.”

Lun made sporadic TV appearances for WWE, competing in the Cruiserweight Classic and teaming with Tian Bing in the Dusty Rhodes Classic. His last televised WWE match was against The Velveteen Dream back in June.

Nick was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, and lived there until the age of 18, when he decided to pack his flack jacket and move to New York City.

Nick attended New York University and graduated in 2001 with a degree in Drama.

Nick first entered the internet wrestling community back in 2004 when he became the co-host of The Voice of Wrestling Radio Show. From there, Nick made the transition from radio personality to editor when he began working with WrestleZone in 2008.

Nick is a member of two Off-Broadway theatre companies, Another Urban Riff, and the Drama Desk Award winning Godlight Theatre Company. Nick has appeared in over a dozen Off-Broadway plays since he moved to New York City, and has shot several short and feature length films.
