Summary

Malik Blade has departed WWE, ending a run that began when he signed with the company in October 2021.

Blade last wrestled at the February 21 NXT live event, where he teamed with Romeo Moreno in a loss to Dorian Van Dux and Harlem Lewis. During his time with the company, he appeared across NXT, NXT Level Up, and WWE Main Event.

Blade's final stretch in WWE

Blade's last televised match came on NXT Level Up against Tavion Heights in October 2024. That bout also led to a torn ACL, an injury that kept him out of action for about a year.

The report noted that more details about his departure were not immediately available.

What Malik Blade's exit means for NXT

Malik Blade leaving WWE is another small roster change for NXT's depth chart, especially after he had already lost significant time to a major knee injury. With no additional details yet on why he is leaving, the clearest takeaway is that Blade's developmental run ends before he could re-establish momentum on television.
