Nigel McGuinness is among the names that have been furloughed by WWE.

McGuinness' name was confirmed in this week's Wrestling Observer Newsletter. Many working in NXT were not named by WWE when they released and furloughed wrestlers, road agents, and other employees last month. WWE cited the COVID-19 pandemic as reasoning for the furloughs and releases.

Of late, McGuinness had been on the NXT UK commentary team with Andy Shepherd. However, recent episodes of the show have been ‘best of’ compilations that have been hosted by Shepherd only. With the COVID-19 pandemic causing travel issues, it isn’t known when NXT UK will resume tapings.

McGuinness signed with the WWE in late 2016 and made his debut as a commentator during the United Kingdom Championship tournament in early 2017. He became a color commentator for NXT the following month and also did commentary for 205 Live and Main Event.

Among those who were furloughed last month include Dave Finlay, Lance Storm, Shane Helms, and Gearld Brisco, among others.

At least he was just furloughed. Don't think he has the energy to make The Last of McGuinness vol. 2

Biggest loss is Rusev, he gets COVID-19 and fired. Plus he isn’t signed anywhere .

It’s exactly what happened. I know this chick that furloughed from her job and they ended up replacing her with someone way cheaper.

A job I was at did that right before close of the final quarter of the year to goose the books to make it look like they were more profitable than they were. Did a combo of layoffs and furloughs.
Had those of us who were still working there doing the jobs of 3 or 4 people and after a couple months they just dropped the axe on the handful of furloughed employees.

Wouldn’t at some point they’d have to inform you that they weren’t bringing you back or not with the the furlough route?
