Update —

Dave Meltzer confirms that WWE has granted Rip Fowler & Jagger Reid's request to be released.

**********

The former Grizzled Young Veterans could be on their way out of WWE.

Fightful reported today that Rip Fowler and Jagger Reid have requested their release from WWE. They've been part of the NXT brand as members of Joe Gacy's Schism faction.

The report didn't state whether WWE has responded to Fowler and Reid's release request.

"We haven’t heard a reason why they’ve asked for their releases, but they’re expected to announce themselves shortly as well," Fightful wrote.

Fowler (formerly known as Zack Gibson) and Reid (James Drake) were formerly known as the Grizzled Young Veterans on the indies and in NXT/NXT UK. They were one-time NXT UK Tag Team Champions.

The Grizzled Young Veterans got their new in-ring names when they were revealed as Gacy's associates on NXT last July.

Schism (Gacy, Fowler, Reid & Ava Raine) lost an eight-person tag match to Chase U (Andre Chase, Duke Hudson & Thea Hail) & Tyler Bate on the pre-show for NXT Stand & Deliver this past Saturday. The match had a stipulation where Schism would have gained control over Chase U if they won.

Hudson pinned Reid to win the eight-person tag match.
