WWE has released quite a few wrestlers this year, and on Friday it was reported that Bobby Fish, Bronson Reed, Jake Atlas, Ari Sterling, Kona Reeves, Leon Ruff, Stephon Smith, Tyler Rust, Zachariah Smith, Asher Hale, Giant Zanjeer and Mercedes Martinez had all been released.
The wrestling world has been reacting to the releases, and Chris Jericho shared his thoughts when he posted a tweet saying that AEW is the best place for performers.
“I think now more than ever it’s obvious, – @AEW is the best pro wrestling company in the world today! Both for fans …and especially for performers. Nothing can stop us now!”
