Kam Hendrix recently opened up about his fears of being released from WWE, admitting he feels constant pressure to prove himself on the NXT roster.
The 29-year-old wrestler has emerged as a fresh presence on NXT TV in recent months, going after both NXT North American Champion Myles Borne and NXT Champion Tony D’Angelo. After a Football career, he transitioned to professional wrestling and signed with WWE in 2024.
Before making his NXT debut in 2026, Hendrix appeared on the first two seasons of WWE LFG and is currently featured on the third season. He is married to WWE Raw superstar Maxxine Dupri.
The comments came in a new video posted by WWE previewing the upcoming LFG episode.
“Every day, even before filming LFG, I felt like the clock was ticking on me. I know that this place has a time limit and nobody can be here forever. I know that this whole thing, everything I ever worked for, can be taken from me,” Hendrix said in the WWE video.
The NXT wrestler continued by acknowledging the subjective nature of WWE’s roster decisions.
“If you’re not evolving as a Superstar, evolving as a character, anyone can be let go. Anyone can be cut for any reason they want. This is subjective at the end of the day. Nobody deserves anything, you’ve gotta earn everything,” he explained.
Recent NXT Roster Moves Spark Concern
Hendrix’s comments came after Drake Morreaux was sent to AAA in Mexico instead of receiving a promotion to the NXT roster. The move appears to have heightened concerns among developmental talent about their standing with the company.
