What a crazy day this has been. WWE has spent the past couple of years doing everything within their power to keep wrestlers in the company and away from All Elite Wrestling, but in a bid to save money during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, more talent has been released following the shocking news that the likes of The Club, Lio Rush, and Drave Maverick have been "future endeavoured."
Now, we can add more big name casualties to the list, including WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle, longtime referee Mick Chioda, Erick Rowan, Zack Ryder, and a lot of other talent we never expected to see fired from WWE.
The biggest shockers? The likes of Fit Finlay and Mike Rotunda have been working behind the scenes for years now, while we definitely wouldn't have guessed that promising talents like EC3, Sarah Logan, and No Way Jose would be given their marching orders, especially as they all had potential to be stars once upon a time.
