Scotty 2 Hotty (Scott Garland) Requests His WWE Release

Scotty 2 Hotty has requested his release from his WWE contract.

Scotty 2 Hotty (Scott Garland) posted a statement on social media, noting that he has officially requested his release from WWE on Tuesday. Garland explained his reason for choosing to walk away and called his work with NXT the highlight of his life.

“Today, I have asked for my release from World Wrestling Entertainment. 30 years ago I stepped into a WWE ring for the very first time. I have lived my dream 100 times over. Some of my most special memories will always be from the last five years working with NXT. The black and gold brand was something special and I am proud to have been a small part of that. I always promised myself that I would never be part of something solely for the paycheck and that was where I was at. I told myself that I would walk away if I ever got to that point, so that is what I have chosen to do. Coaching and producing the stars of NXT will always be a highlight of my life. I love you all more than you will ever know,” Garland wrote on social media.

Garland has been working as a WWE coach at the company’s Performance Center for the past several years, first making a guest coaching appearance in 2016. Appearing as Scotty 2 Hotty, Garland worked for WWE as an in-ring talent from 1997 to 2007.
