Possibility of WWE Releasing More Talent Following Recent Cuts

Releases are simply a part of life for a professional wrestler and WWE is no exception, as multiple releases have been taking place over the past several years. Recently, some unexpected names were released as part of the latest cuts and now the possibility of WWE releasing more talent has been revealed.

It was reported that Baron Corbin, Indi Hartwell, and Tegan Nox have departed from WWE. Regarding Corbin, WWE simply chose not to renew his contract and he will be a free agent once his current contract expires and all of these releases came as a shock to fans for good reason.

While speaking on Fightful Select’s Q&A podcast, Sean Ross Sapp was asked whether fans should expect more releases. He explained that anyone saying more releases will happen in certain months, like spring or fall, is just guessing. Since 2020, many wrestlers have been released, and there has never been any clear sign of another “round” of cuts coming from the company.

Sapp pointed out that this kind of information usually doesn’t get leaked. He gave examples like Indi Hartwell, who was used on TV just a week before her release, and Baron Corbin, who was part of a Netflix commercial shoot only six days before he was let go.

“Any accounts or outlets that say things like “expect more in the spring or fall, etc” are guessing. We’ve covered hundreds of releases, expirations and departures since 2020, and at no point was another “round” ever indicated. That isn’t usually the type of thing that makes it through the company. They were using Indi Hartwell a week before she was released and Baron Corbin was at the Netflix commercial shoot six days before.”

Fans shouldn’t expect more wrestler releases right away, but that doesn’t mean it won’t happen eventually. WWE sometimes lets talent go as part of their regular process, so there may still be more cuts down the line.
