According to Fightful Select, Duke Hudson and WWE parted ways in January 2025, though the news has only recently come to light. Hudson’s final appearance came during an NXT house show in November 2024.
Hudson joined WWE in 2019 and underwent several character iterations during his time in NXT. After debuting as Brendan Vink, he later adopted the Duke Hudson persona, portraying a poker player character. His most prominent role came as a member of Chase U alongside Andre Chase and Thea Hail.
WWE opted not to publicly announce Hudson’s departure, adding him to the list of talent departures handled without formal acknowledgment.
