As per reports from wrestlinginc.com, the list includes former tag team Champion Damien Sandow, Alex Riley, Hornswoggle, El Torito, Cameron, Brooklyn Brawler, former United States Champion Santino Marella and Zeb Colter. Also, former 5-time Intercontinental Champion Bad News Barrett asked for his release from the company which was granted.

Colter was a part of WWE from 1994 tol 1997. He made his WWE return on February 2013, aligning himself with then top contender Jack Swagger to form the Real Americans. After a few months, they were joined by Cesaro.

After being written off for 11 months, he made his return on October 2015, during the Hell in a Cell event alongside Alberto Del Rio. Their new MexAmerica storyline failed to impress the fans and December 7^th marked his last appearance in WWE. Colter will be appearing for Global Force Wrestling soon.
