Quite a few talents have been released from WWE as Vince McMahon announced budget cuts earlier in the day. Now Rusev’s name has been added to the list, and the former United States Champion reacted to the news when he posted the following on Twitter:
Thank you All, Rusev out!

WWE writer Andrea Listenberger also took to Twitter to announce her release.
Lots of people getting let go at #WWE today and regrettably, I am one of them. But I'm proud of the work I've been able to do since starting in Dec., and glad that the storyline I worked on resonated with so many people. That's what writing is about for me. #OtisandMandyForever
