#5 More WWE superstars to get released
WWE stunned the world when they released major superstars like Braun Strowman, Aleister Black, and Ruby Riott, among others. There is now speculation that WWE is not yet done with their 'budget cuts' and some big names could be in line to be released by the company.
Andrew Zarian of Mat Men revealed on his podcast that there are more names that may lose their jobs.
“I do know that they want to cut back on these contracts and there are more releases," said Zarian. "There will be more. I don’t know when, but I was told, ‘Yeah, this isn’t the final cut.’ So, we’ll see.”
WWE had first released many superstars including Samoa Joe, Mickie James, and Bo Dallas after WrestleMania 37. It came as a big surprise when the company decided to make further cuts and fired top card talent like Braun Strowman.
We hope that the rumors of more big names being cut are not true but with WWE's new policy, it doesn't seem far-fetched to think that more big names might be on their way out of the company.
