There isn’t a major name on here but Lumis, Pirotta, Harland and Kai are certainly surprises (Bivens apparently wasn’t going to re-sign so they let him go). The interesting one to me is Kai, who was literally a champion earlier THIS MONTH and now she’s gone. I’m not sure how many of these people are going to get signed elsewhere (Bivens would be a steal for any promotion that wants him) but you’ll likely see some of them somewhere. What worries me is how many more might be let go. It’s never good to see this kind of thing and odds are WWE isn’t done yet.
You say theirsno major names but Kai has been a mainstay on NXT for the last few years so that’s a major NXT name for me. The others have also been on tv frequently, so this has shocked me. It feels like they have no idea what they’re doing and just pick names out of a hat to release them.
Kai would make a great addition to Impact. The rest? Meh.
Why do you think the WWE has been releasing so much talent for the past 2 years or so? Do you believe they are having trouble financially?
Nah. I do think they’re trying to cut out some spending, and a lot of those wrestlers cut over the years were dead weight anyway. I get a good deal of the cuts, though they have gone too far.
