Today we’ll be talking about the latest wave of WWE releases, Aleister Black, and
much more
Let’s start things off with the biggest topic in the headlines right now and that’s
the April 15th WWE releases
This recent wave of WWE releases is giving everyone flashbacks to April of last year
when WWE fully emptied out their locker room due to pandemic budget cuts
Well here we are one full year later, WWE is coming off a successful huge Wrestlemania
event, but it looks like they still did that usual spring cleaning of the locker-room
A spring cleaning with some huge names that left everyone’s jaws on the floor
Let’s go down the entire list of WWE superstars that are no longer with WWE
WWE has confirmed the releases of Billie Kay, Peyton Royce, Samoa Joe, Blake, Tucker, Kailsto,
Bo Dallas, Chelsea Green, and Mickie James
Some names there you can see why they were let go by WWE, but there’s also some big
names there that should have never been released at all
So Blake and Tucker are probably the ones that make the most sense to be on this list
It was clear immediately after the breakup from Otis that WWE had absolutely zero plans
for Tucker, so like he said on twitter, it was just freedom for him
Blake, another superstar that WWE tried a few things with but in the end, they had no
plans for him
Bo Dallas hasn’t been seen since 2019, but his release is still quite surprising
Bo Dallas has been at the forefront of a lot of Bray Wyatt theories lately with fans wondering
if he could cross paths and join his brother Bray in the firefly funhouse, but he’s unfortunately
now gone from WWE
Kailsto is another surprising name for a few reasons.
Kailsto has been gone from television in recent months, but he was very active on social media
with these promos he was uploading, they were getting retweeted by WWE’s official accounts,
and everyone thought it was leading to something big, but no, it was leading to his WWE release
after all that hype
Now is where we get to the very surprising names on the list, first of Samoa Joe
Samoa Joe was one of WWE’s biggest signings several years ago
He took over NXT with so many classic matches.
He came to the main roster and continued destruction there as well.
He even had a feud with Brock Lesnar for the Universal Title which was no doubt the peak
of his WWE career
But then he transitioned into being a commentator and that left everyone wondering why he wasn’t
in the ring
Why would WWE and Samoa Joe waste valuable time of his career with him calling matches?
Don’t get it wrong, he was great as a commentator, but of course we rather see Joe in the ring
himself
But Joe also seemed happy about the release, he posted a message that said “be well”
and he also noted that he does have to wait 90 days before he can work elsewhere
Chelsea Green was surprising because we never really saw her get her chance to shine in
WWE
She did a few things in NXT, but then it would get switched up and changed
She debuted on the main roster in 2019 against Charlotte, but then was pulled back to NXT
Then she came to Smackdown in fall of 2020, but had an arm and wrist injury
There was even word that WWE extended her deal a few weeks ago, so to see them turn
around and release her was quite the shocker
But Chelsea Green also seemed to be excited about her release, she posted a picture of
her old ‘hot mess’ character and was looking forward to bringing her back wherever she
goes
Mickie James was also released which was surprising, but not that surprising at the same time
Mickie James was obviously the veteran of the women’s locker-room but wasn’t doing
much on TV
Mickie James was even a legend on WWE legends night, so that made fans wonder if she was
retired
We also had Chelsea Green and Mickie James teasing the stalking fan storyline on social
media, we all took that as a sign that the storyline was coming to WWE television, but
once again, that led to nothing and now they’re both released
Now let’s talk about the top two names that shouldn’t be on this list, but unfortunately
they are, and that’s Peyton Royce and Billie Kay
Peyton and Billie were on top of the world in 2019, winning the tag titles at Wrestlemania
That was a big win for them, but even as the tag team champions, they were still barely
on TV and didn’t even have an actual real feud for the titles
They eventually lost the titles and disappeared from TV for several months, they would come
back in 2020, tease a breakup, but then stayed together
They stayed together all the way until summer of 2020, when it was someone’s bright idea
on a Monday afternoon right before raw that they should split the Iconics up that same
night
No buildup, no purpose, no reasoning, no storyline, no direction, someone just got up that Monday
morning and said “let’s break the Iconics up for no reason” and it was done
The Iconics were split up and everyone was heated about it, but we all looked at the
bright side and said “well let’s see if Peyton and Billie’s singles careers take
off now, maybe they have a plan”
We couldn’t be anymore incorrect, it was very foolish to assume that WWE actually knew
what they were doing and had a plan for Peyton and Billie after their breakup because they
absolutely had no clue what they were doing
Peyton Royce’s character said it was her time to go solo and make a scene in the women’s
division
What direction did WWE take her singles career in?
They paired Peyton Royce up in a random tag team with Lacey Evans
Which had everyone looking WWE and Peyton’s character in a weird way.
You take her out of the Iconics to put her into another random tag team, so what was
the point of the Iconics breakup?
Peyton cuts the promo of her life and how her potential was haunting her and she was
ready to go solo with Lacey Evans being gone, but WWE didn’t capitalize on that at all
Billie Kay is as always entertaining, everyone loved her, and she knew how to make you laugh
when you saw her
We thought Billie finally found someone that hired her with Carmella, but now she’s been
released
So as we can see, there was no plans for them after their breakup, they just make these
big decisions of breaking teams up without having any idea about where to take them
That was all of the WWE releases for now, we’ll see if more releases come out in the
coming days
—————-
So let’s take about Aleister Black.
Aleister Black’s WWE future has been one massive question mark over the last few months
His wife, Zelina Vega, had a sudden departure from the WWE and was fired after an entire
situation was going on there
A lot of people assumed that Zelina’s horrible departure from the WWE would be the end for
Aleister Black’s WWE career as well
There was talks of him going back to NXT.
We’ve seen superstars like Finn and Ember Moon go back to NXT and see a lot of success,
but nothing happened there
Then with this massive wave of released WWE superstars that WWE had no future plans for
started to come out, many fans feared Aleister Black would be in that list
But thankfully he wasn’t a part of that list of released superstars
There’s actually some great news for Aleister Black, reports claim that he’s currently
filming content for his WWE return
There’s one theory out there that maybe Aleister Black is working with Alexa Bliss
Alexa’s attire from Wrestlemania was similar to Aleister’s and the way she was sitting
down with her legs crossed seemed to be another reference to Aleister Black
That theory is a bit out there and most likely isn’t true, but what seems to be true is
that WWE is going to give Aleister Black another chance
But then again with the last second changes and decisions we’ve been seeing them make
likely, it honestly wouldn’t be surprise if they end up not liking what they filmed
for his return and cancel those plans too
WWE is notorious for cancelling big things like that, but let’s hold out hope that
we actually do get to see Aleister Black’s WWE return
