WWE Never Planned Main Roster Call-Up for Andre Chase

TLDR

Andre Chase has been released by WWE, with reports indicating that the company never planned to call him up to the main roster despite his popularity in NXT. According to Bryan Alvarez on Wrestling Observer Live, Chase was originally hired as a trainer to help develop talent rather than become a television performer, though fan support eventually led to him appearing on TV and winning championships in NXT. Chase confirmed his release and stated that while his WWE chapter is closed, his professional wrestling career will continue.
