Former WWE NXT commentator Percy Watson, who had been expected to remain with the company as part of the 205 Live brand following Beth Phoenix stepping into his role as a commentator on WWE NXT, will instead be departing the company for outside projects, according to a report from Casey Michael of Squared Circle Sirens.

37-year-old Watson, who returned in 2016 as a member of the NXT announce team is hoping to pursue outside projects in acting, which he was unable to do due to his WWE schedule.
