They keep on coming. We are in the middle of a huge time of transition for WWE as the company has officially been sold to Endeavor. As a result, there have been all kinds of changes taking place in the company, including the wrestlers who work there. Several wrestlers lost their jobs earlier today, and now it seems that the list is continuing to grow even longer.

There is no word on if any more releases will take place today or in the near future.
There was some talent in that group. Check out some of them in action:
Opinion: Egads the bloodletting continues, though again this is a group of wrestlers who have not been around on television very much lately. Only Brooke and Kato had been used even somewhat regularly in recent months and that was down in NXT. I’m not overly surprised at some of these releases, but it is a big deal when this many people get released from the company at any time, let alone the same time.
