WWE Not Likely To Release Any Superstars During UFC Merger

WWE has historically released a handful of Superstars after WrestleMania for the past few years. The idea of sweeping cuts to the company’s rosters is nothing new, and they did this many times throughout the pandemic. That being said, with a UFC merger coming up, it doesn’t seem like WWE wants to lose talent.

During Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer addressed WWE’s future in terms of cuts. He stated that there is no indication that talent or creative cuts are coming, but those in the office have a much different story.

“It’s always a possibility, but they haven’t talked about doing cuts with talent. They haven’t really said, they’ve said production, and they’ve said creative there’s gonna be no cuts. There’s gonna be lots of cuts in office people. I don’t anticipate cuts with talent.”

It was also mentioned that, with someone like Drew McIntyre, WWE won’t cut him unless he’s injured or doesn’t want to work. After all, McIntyre is very valuable. The same could be said for practically anyone on the WWE main roster right now, because they are in that spot for a reason.

WWE is well aware that AEW is more than willing to pick up their released Superstars. This could also add another level of things to consider when making those decisions to let someone go. Only time will tell how long WWE goes without another sweeping release for their rosters, but it doesn’t seem like that is an immediate plan.

What’s your take on WWE cutting Superstars? Do they need to trim the rosters? Sound off in the comments!
