Zack Ryder is gone now too!

I was just making up a list of names literally minutes before firings happened. 9 of those 14 names have been released since then.

Rusev/Lana, BTeam and Lars are only ones left.

Ya. Been there since the 80s! Finlay gone is a big loss for them as well since he's been so involved in the womens division.

No way Jose is gone too! They really did kill off a bunch of superstars.

That sucks for everyone that’s losing there job, but it’s crazy that their payroll was so bloated. Half the wrestlers that got let go we’re bringing no value to the company

That's what WWE has been saying for years. And what AEW guys have ripped WWE for as well.

Why have people on the payroll if you're not using them? What other company just has guys there for years at a time who rarely if ever actually (get a chance to) contribute to the company? Getting paid to sit at home.

Sucks to see so many lose their jobs, but at the same time, this is what WWE should've done all along. The thing which hurts them is having to do it in one giant swoop rather than have people released over a few months, or just not have this problem to begin with because their roster only has talent which are needed.


Sounds like the NXT cuts could be coming AFTER tonight's show. And looking at all the cuts, how many were on Smackdown? Could we see another wave happening late Friday night/early Saturday morning?
