"It perplexes me" - Wrestling legend reacts to latest WWE releases including Tyler Breeze and Fandango
Several WWE stars were released last night in the latest round of cuts, which included the likes of Tyler Breeze and Fandango. The previous round of cuts came earlier this month. They included a number of popular superstars like Braun Strowman and Aleister Black.
We don't yet know what is behind all the WWE releases this year, although there have been rumors that the company could be sold. Speaking on Sportskeeda's SmackTalk, wrestling legend Dutch Mantell gave his take on the latest round of WWE cuts:
"Well, talent being let go isn't something that doesn't surprise anyone but it's the level and the amount that WWE has been letting go or released... what's the reason for it? A while back we said they were probably on the verge of being sold to somebody else but I haven't heard anything like that in the last couple of weeks. I don't know why they're doing this because I don't think they're giving them a chance." said Mantell
"I don't know the reason behind it, I'm not Vince. He makes the decisions with his advisors or whoever they would be but there's a reason for it and it perplexes me so I don't have an answer for that." added Mantell
