Following this, Morgan will start shooting the movie "Death from Above" with Kurt Angle in July.
He will not miss any in-ring time pursuing outside interests. Morgan has stated he wants to pursue a career in acting after he is finished in professional wrestling.

NXT Plans
Tonight's edition of WWE NXT is the finale of Season 1.
Tonight's show will feature Justin Gabriel, David Otunga and Wade Barrett. The winner will receive a title match at an upcoming WWE pay-per-view.
Just because workers are eliminated does not mean they are fired from the company, as all of the NXT Rookies are being brought to TVs tonight in Dallas, Texas. There are already storyline plans in place to use Daniel Bryan and David Otunga.

Workers that do not get a permanent call-up to the main WWE roster will be sent back to Florida Championship Wrestling for more training.

Finally, It's believed that a new, shorter season of NXT will begin next week, possibly built around Kaval or Joe Hennig as the top star with a new cast of developmental stars being called up. This isn't confirmed and as of the weekend, some on the WWE creative team had no idea what is going to happen after this week's finale.
