A few years ago when AEW first started, at least released WWE talent had somewhere to go and with AEW being new and needing talent, they could easily fit in. Then Tony Khan went all New York Yankees and signed every free agent from WWE to the point where AEW ended up having a bloated roster.

Honestly, both WWE & AEW need to trim the fat and cut back on their rosters a bit. For WWE, nothing really of loss here as they have a plethora of talent waiting in the wings in NXT to essentially replace those released. I can see Cedric obviously going to AEW to the Hurt Syndicate but I feel he would be better off in TNA. The Good Brothers likely go to New Japan, maybe TNA.

Seeing them release Sonya, Blair & Isla Dawn when both the IC Championship & US Championship scene needed them. Sonya could have easily been feuding with Lyra, and Blair could have been feuding with whoever takes the title off Chelsea. It's baffling when those championships don't have anything going for them and potential challengers were released.

Re: WWE Releases

I'm glad Gallows and Anderson got paid, but man were they wasted in WWE. Honestly I don't think any promotion has figured out what to do with them, for whatever reason. In a perfect world they would be some kind of version of a modern APA. Instead, their best content has been left to their podcasts and the occasional indie run. And they can't be on a PG show, that's for sure.

Re: WWE Releases

Elektra also gone.

Again, not a surprise. She didn't do much in NXT or the main roster other than just being LDF manager. But Santos on the mic isn't any worse than she is.

She was pretty good in the ring and I'd simp for her as well. [emoji28][emoji38]

Triple H needs to do a better job of actually utilizing people before he chucks them out (or upper management does).

Re: WWE Releases

Between some of the things we saw on NXT this week and now Shotzi posting online suggesting she's been released (or simply had her contract run out), I could see a wave of releases coming.

WM season is over, Q1 numbers are out, could be time for some "budget cuts".
