They have reason to worry. One of the biggest wrestling stories over the last few years has been the amount of releases WWE has made. Hundreds of wrestlers have been let go from the company over the last two years, which has completely reshaped the way the company works. The releases have come out of nowhere and now they might be coming up again for some of the remaining wrestlers.
According to Fightful’s Sean Ross Sapp, several WWE wrestlers have been concerned about possible upcoming releases, possibly as soon as Friday. There were no releases announced on Monday and a WWE higher up said that they did not know of any that were upcoming. WWE has not released any names since January when they let several NXT trainers go from the company.
I know a lot of people have been concerned about "WWE release day" today, including much of the talent.
At least one higher up told me that they didn't know of any releases set to happen today, if you'd like to take their word for it.

Opinion: I’m not sure what WWE is planning in regards to releases but the company has let so many wrestlers go that it is easy to believe they could be releasing even more people. Hopefully that is not the case again as the company has already done it so many times. Maybe they have figured out a way to let people keep their jobs, but that is not exactly their custom as of late.
Will WWE release more names soon? Who would you expect to be let go? Let us know in the comments below.
