It has been reported that WWE has signed several of their NXT UK Superstars to new restrictive contracts that would dramatically impact The United Kingdom Independent Scene.
These contracts would prohibit The NXT UK Superstars from competing in any promotion which doesn’t have a partnership with The WWE. While many sees this as a good move for WWE in getting a stranglehold on The UK market, others see this as WWE’s attempts to kill The UK Indie Scene.
One of those people who falls in the latter group is Justin Sysum who is not part of The NXT UK Roster and is the current champion for World Of Sport Wrestling (WOS).

Sysum posted a letter on his Twitter account in which he says that he would rather die on his sword than sit idly and let WWE impose these restrictions, as seen below:

Sysum also asks other UK Wrestlers, Promoters & Staff to band together in opposition of WWE. His comments elicited a response from several NXT UK Superstars who hit back at Sysum for responding to what at this point are still rumors, as seen below:

I was very careful to make sure that I praised you guys for your achievements, it’s important people know. Now I’m trying to get British wrestling to the point where people can make a living without WWE.

Former NXT Tag Team champion Trent Seven took a personal approach to Sysum and called him out for attention-seeking, as seen below:

I stand by my words, hopefully you gave it your full attention and read the whole thing? You ARE to thank for the great heights we have reached. I’m making a point that I want it to go even further, without WWE.

All of the backlash prompted a response from Sysum who apologized if he upset anyone, but did not take back what he said, as seen below:

Thank you for all the responses I got from the letter earlier, both positive & negative, it’s important to have an open discussion. I’m not sorry for what I’ve sad but I am truly sorry if it upset anyone. I didn’t set out to offend and my apologies for that.
