Fans were particularly shocked by the departures of Kairi Sane, Aleister Black, Zelina, and all five members of The Wyatt Sicks. Six other WWE main roster stars were released, too. Here is a list of all 14 of them:
- Kairi Sane
- Aleister Black
- Zelina
- Bo Dallas
- Erick Rowan
- Joe Gacy
- Dexter Lumis
- Nikki Cross
- Alex Shelley
- Chris Sabin
- Zoey Stark
- Apollo Crews
- Alba Fyre
- Santos Escobar
They were all informed of their departures by TKO, but it was reportedly Triple H who decided who got let go. Dave Meltzer stated that WWE’s Chief Content Officer was responsible for this wave of releases, with Nick Khan possibly being involved, too. A new report has shed light on the likely reason The Game decided to let go of them.
According to Fightful Select, most of the releases were to make way for new talent. There was also a mention of SmackDown seemingly going back to two hours in the next few months, meaning less television time available for the roster.
Multiple NXT stars moved to the blue brand on Friday’s episode, which took place hours after the releases happened. Fatal Influence appeared on SmackDown and were immediately thrust into the spotlight, while it was announced that Ricky Starks and Blake Monroe would also make their debuts soon.
Most of the released talent were a part of SmackDown, including The Wyatt Sicks. With The Motor City Machine Guns also being let go, it remains to be seen how WWE fills the gap in SmackDown’s tag team division.
Multiple NXT wrestlers and developmental prospects were released as well, including Andre Chase and LFG Season One winner, Tyra Mae Steele. A total of at least 25 names were let go. Sportskeeda Wrestling wishes every departing star all the best for the future.
