NXT Wrestler Says He's Been Fired, Evan Bourne Holding Seminar, Preview Tonight's SmackDown

- WWE has released developmental wrestler Travis Tyler.

I was probably the first guy to get fired while wearing a pink fanny pack in some time. I learned a lot and am thankful for the experience.

Like Garrett Dylan (who announced he was released), Tyler's profile has been removed from WWE.com. He is going by his real name, Sam Udell, on Twitter, and is accepting bookings via sam1988udell@gmail.com.

Tyler sporadically appeared on WWE NXT, with victories only taking place at non-televised events. He is an ex-college athlete turned independent wrestler the company signed in 2012.

- The former Evan Bourne, Matt Sydal, who competes tonight for Magnum Pro Wrestling in Omaha, Nebraska (event located at Firefighters Union Hall, 6005 Grover St), will be conducting a wrestling seminar tomorrow with the promotion. Details are available here.

- Tonight on SmackDown, Dean Ambrose will battle Seth Rollins and Kane in a 2-on-1 Handicap Match on SmackDown. WWE.com previews the show.
