Former WWE Star Reveals Why They Were Released

Quite a few WWE Superstars have been released in recent weeks, and this week WWE made some cuts in NXT. Notable names such as Velveteen Dream and Jessamyn Duke were released, and former Sanity member Alexander Wolfe was also released from his contract.

During a recent interview with Sport 1 Wolfe was asked if he was given a reason for his release, and he noted that he was told it was because of the pandemic.

He went on to say that will all the money WWE makes he doesn’t feel that any firing is necessarily mandatory, but he’s not blaming himself for the release.

“The reason I was given was the pandemic time that savings are still necessary due to the global event restrictions. Well, that’s better than no reason at all, but ultimately you know: WWE makes so much money that no firing is really mandatory. But it is what it is. The machine continues to run, the parts are replaced. I see, that’s the business. I can say so much: I am proud of what I have achieved. I know I could have achieved more, but in a league like WWE you don’t have everything in your own hands. You have to control what you can control, I don’t think I can blame myself in that regard.”
