Latest WWE Releases Leave People “Befuddled” Backstage

Can you blame them? Possibly the biggest wrestling story over the last year and a half has been WWE’s long string of releases. The company has not stopped lately either, letting go another dozen people this week. That kind of turnover is going to have some kind of impact on the people who are still around and now we have a better idea of just how they are reacting to what happened.

According to Mike Johnson of PWInsider.com, the latest batch of releases made for a sad day in WWE, with several people who rarely show empathy being shaken up by the news. People were said to be upset or sad about the releases, with one joking that they were now in Nick Khan’s WWE. One of the statements was that WWE is not the company it once was. No one spoken to was happy with the situation, as the question is now who might be next to go.

A lot of talented people were let go this week. Check out what some of them have done in their careers:

Opinion: What else were you expecting? This is the latest batch of people being released from a company that makes more money in wrestling than any other promotion could ever have hoped for, but more wrestlers are gone. I don’t know if this is WWE getting rid of a bunch of people who worked for the Triple H regime, but this is the kind of thing that keeps happening and it is going to take a major toll on everyone who is left.

What will the releases mean for WWE? Who else will be let go? Let us know in the comments below.
