WWE has been known to make a few cuts from the company occasionally. These cuts normally take place when there are certain superstars who have not been contributing to the company. It also happens when the company has nothing specific for them. The last time the company did something like this was back in November. It seems like they are looking to shorten out some names from the roster near WrestleMania.
While certain names were expected to be on this list, some names were not expected to be there. There are multiple tag teams, a few individual superstars, and even women wrestlers. Sean Ross of Fightful Select recently revealed the list of superstars WWE released.
While some names like Authors of Pain were expected to be there, names like Sonya Deville and Cedric Alexander might have come across as a surprise. These names have a lot of fan support and will definitely draw eyes to whichever promotion they go to.
The superstars will also be under a 90-day non-compete clause. This means that these wrestlers cannot wrestle for another brand in these 90 days. Many wrestlers will be looking to develop their image online in the meantime. A clear example of a wrestler who created his name while he was not allowed to complete was Matt Cardona. Before becoming the amazing independent wrestler, his run as Zack Ryder had gone stale. He rebranded himself online and got to where he is today. Meanwhile, there will be other wrestlers who will be looking to get bookings once the 90 days are up.
Fans react to the names that have been released from WWE
The WWE Universe has been very quick to respond to the releases. While some wrestlers were not the favorites of many, there were some who the fans were looking forward to returning. The Good Brothers are clear examples of these big names.
The fans have been rooting for the superstars to make their wrestling returns soon. All of them have a lot of potential and will be picked up by big promotions. The words “so far” have also been used in this tweet. This has raised concern among the fans that there are more wrestlers who are going to be released.
While these wrestlers might not be a part of WWE for now, there is always a door for them to come back. With Triple H being in charge now, we have seen big names return to the company. There could also be a potential guest appearance by them if they join TNA. The new tie-up between the two companies has allowed wrestlers from one promotion to appear in another.
