April 15 is a day that many in WWE won’t soon forget, as the company made massive budget cuts due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The cuts resulted in names like Kurt Angle, EC3, Zack Ryder, Luke Gallows, Karl Anderson and many more getting released, and people throughout the industry are feeling the impact of the releases.
Stars from the wrestling community have taken to social media to share their thoughts on the releases, and Randy Orton tagged Drake Maverick, Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson in a photo of them all together on Instagram.
Other stars such as Becky Lynch, Natalya and more also commented on the releases and you can see their reactions below.
Today is a tough day for all of us in and who love this business.
When this hardship is over, I hope we’re all reunited working together to make some magic in front of the fans who make it all worthwhile.
