On Friday, before SmackDown, the company released a huge number of stars. Another star just now confirmed she was also released by the company. However, a report by Fightful Select has revealed that the company has also broken a long-standing rule. One of the stars released by the company, Santos Escobar, was injured at the time of his release. He suffered a torn tricep during a match.

This is something that is against the company’s long-standing policy of not releasing injured stars, but it is something that the company has broken quite a few times recently, with Karl Anderson, Ridge Holland, and BJ Ray all let go or not extended, while they were injured. The release of Escobar confirms that the company is no longer following a rule that has mostly been followed for the past several decades.

Given the report signalling that Triple H and Nick Khan were primarily behind the cuts, it seems that they have decided to end the policy.

WWE re-signed Santos Escobar last year after the star’s contract had run out with the company. His contract expired on October 7, 2025, and he was leaving the company. However, the company hastily issued him a new deal, and he re-signed with them only a day later.

Since that time, the star has not really featured heavily in WWE programming. While he was part of a couple of AAA shows, for the most part, the star was not seen wrestling in the company again. His last televised appearance in WWE was on May 2 on SmackDown. He did feature on Worlds Collide as well on June 7, but since then, he has only featured on live shows, with the last one coming around July 27.

After re-signing with the company, he first appeared three months after signing, for an NXT house show in January. This was followed by two appearances for AAA.
