Andre Chase Says NXT Creative Had No Explanation for Chase University Disbandment

Andre Chase told Duke Hudson on the Between Two Jobs podcast that NXT executives informed him Chase University was being disbanded without offering a rationale, despite strong performance metrics. Chase recalled Heatwave, Halloween Havoc and No Mercy merch numbers that rivaled NXT champions Trick Williams and Roxanne Perez, and highlighted that the group consistently drew strong ratings and multiple segments per show.

Chase said he pressed the creative team from a business perspective but was repeatedly told, “this is the direction we’re going,” leaving him to conclude the decision was already made. He also revealed that after his April WWE release he had originally been offered an NXT coaching role, which he declined to continue wrestling despite the lower salary.
