As noted earlier today on PWInsider.com, NXT Creative team member Rob Naylor finishes up at WWE Developmental this weekend. His position at NXT was dropped/shifted to a new hire with the move to Orlando. Many within the company/close to the situation were surprised at this news as he was well liked. Naylor's departure was said to be very amicable. He was was apparently told that in the future, the door was open to come back to work for the WWE. He had a lot of fans in the company and received a really nice send-off over the last week. There was talk of him going to work in Stamford, but obviously, that did not happen as of this writing.
Naylor, however, will continue working with Dusty Rhodes. Rhodes posted the following today on Twitter:
NXT and all, me most will miss Naylor. Great working with him . Rob will b in charge of my new Blog , new web coming soon .
