WWE released total of 10 superstars from the company yesterday
The releases come exactly one year after the company released multiple Superstars on Black Wednesday.
This may be the most shocking name as Samoa Joe was believed to be returning to the ring at some point.
Joe had been doing Raw commentary for the past year but was replaced this week by Corey Graves.
He had been out of the ring since February of last year due to concussion-related issues.
He was last seen this past weekend doing commentary at WrestleMania.
After his release Joe took to Twitter to send a short and sweet message to his fans.
The former WWE announcer Renee Paquette shares her thoughts about Samoa Joe.
She stated that WWE's decision to let Samoa Joe go was a big mistake.
Billie Kay teamed with Carmella during the Tag Team Turmoil match at WrestleMania.
She has been floundering on SmackDown for months after they broke her away from Peyton Royce
and has been used in a comedy role.
After her WWE release Billie Kay issued a statement, she thanks Vince McMahon & Triple H for the past 6 years.
Peyton Royce’s name being on the list is somewhat surprising because last year there was talk in a meeting about Vince McMahon seeing her as a singles star.
Unfortunately, she wasn’t given much of a chance since the decision to break her away from Billie Kay.
Mickie James is a former six-time Women’s Champion, but she didn’t reach those heights during her latest run with the company.
She was typically used as an enhancement talent during this run.
The last time fans saw Mickie James was during the NXT TakeOver: Stand & Deliver kickoff show.
James took to Twitter to post a heartfelt reaction.
She thanked fans and members of the WWE locker room for all the memories during her latest WWE run.
Bo Dallas wasn’t seen on WWE television throughout 2020.
He’s been showing up to WWE events in recent memory, but creative had nothing for him.
It’s been several months since they’ve done anything of note with Mojo Rawley.
He only wrestled on a handful of shows in 2020 and appeared at WrestleMania 36 alongside his real-life friend Rob Gronkowski.
Tucker was part of the tag team Heavy Machinery with Otis.
He only wrestled one match since November.
After his WWE release, Tucker sent out a very short tweet.
Chelsea Green only wrestled a single match as part of the WWE main roster.
She broke her wrist in her debut match on SmackDown.
Green posted a thoughtful message on Twitter in the aftermath of her release, as she looked back at her WWE career.
Green admittedly didn't achieve everything she'd envisioned in WWE, but the star was still proud of her efforts.
Kalisto is another name that WWE hasn’t done with
especially in the last few months as they had him turn heel and break away from Lucha House Party.
Wesley Blake’s status with the company was in question once the decision was made to break up The Forgotten Sons stable last year.
So his release wasn’t a surprise.
WWE had revenue of $974.2 million in 2020 that is up 1% from previous year.
WWE says the releases are just part of company budget cuts.
April 15th is seemingly becoming an annual day for cuts in WWE as they continue marking record profits.
