NXT has no shortage of women's talent available to lead booker Shawn Michaels, but the depth near the top of the card is about to take a bit of a hit.

Both Mike Johnson of PWInsider and Cory Hays of BodySlam reported on Wednesday that Jazmyn Nyx is set to depart the company after her current contract expires.

Johnson said that an attempt was made by WWE to keep the Fatal Influence member with the company, but she declined their offer. Nyx has now confirmed the news via social media, explaining that WWE's contract proposal was not going to cut it for her from a financial standpoint.

Without going into further explanation, Jazmyn said that she has had some other opportunities that she was not previously able to explore due to her WWE commitment, and she is now looking forward to pursuing those avenues. 

An angle was shot on Tuesday night's episode of NXT where Jazmyn was attacked backstage and left laying unconscious. She was later discovered by NXT Women's Champion Jacy Jayne and Fallon Henley, who both quickly dismissed the incident and said it was time to, 'drop her' anyway.

Nyx, real name Jade Gentile, signed with WWE in the fall of 2022 and made her television debut in January of last year. She had worked alongside Jacy Jayne dating back to their days together in Chase University.

With Nyx having been written off of television, she has now wrestled her final match in WWE under her current contract.

The 27-year-old teamed with Jacy Jayne and Fallon Henley to battle Rhea Ripley, Lyra Valkyria and new Women's World Champion Stephanie Vaquer in a Six-Woman Tag Team Match during the main event of NXT Homecoming. The alumni team picked up the victory thanks to a small assist from Lola Vice.

There will be no non-compete phase for Jazmyn Nyx. As soon as her current deal runs out, she'll be free to appear or sign with any new promotion she chooses.

Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select has heard that Nyx's contract is due to expire some time in October. We wish her all the best with her future endeavors.
