Backstage News On Why WWE Released More Superstars

All throughout 2020 and 2021 WWE has been releasing talents in waves, and today the company released the following Superstars:

Franky Monet
Ember Moon
Scarlett
Oney Lorcan
Gran Metallik
Karrion Kross
Keith Lee
Nia Jax

Jeet Rama

Eva Marie
Lince Dorado

Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful noted on Twitter that the official reason given for the releases in the email from John Laurinaitis was budget cuts.

The mass WWE releases have been a very hot topic in 2021 as the company has released some shocking names such as former WWE Champion Bray Wyatt and former WWE Universal Champion Braun Strowman. Budget cuts have typically been cited as the reason for the releases.

Many of the released talents have been able to find new homes with other promotions such as AEW and Impact to name a few, and with the talent pool filling up it will be interesting to see how things play out over the next few months.

Stay tuned for updates.
