WWE Releases Ongoing

[Ricky Smarks]

Gigi released

Beat me to it, but my god why? She’s been used consistently by both NXT and TNA. This is nuts.

Dakota leaving also upsets me but I could see it coming.

 

[Dale]

I thought for ages a Gigi release was coming, wasn't expecting it to be right when they found a good pairing with Shotzi & Tatum.

 

[Barry Poppins]

MLP bout to get some prime talent, Scott D'Amore come calling

NXT is stacked with female talent and the ones they felt haven’t improved are gonna get to move on to other opportunities probably TNA and like Looch said gonna be kept an eye on

 

[Dom's cellmate]

Eddy Thorpe too apparently

I'm not surprised but was with his push attempt vs Trick.

Chances are Shotzi is gone too

And Tatum most likely

 

[Spitfire]

If a lot of them join TNA, we know the takeover is almost guaranteed

Not sure, I can see reasonings behind most of the releases but her and Cora are very odd decisions.

NXT for sure has probably the best women’s roster on the planet, but most of these releases are definitely the people I liked the most on my own personal list.

Gigi though specifically was just representing NXT on the TNA PPV. If I was responsible for this type of stuff, I would definitely not have someone I was thinking about releasing in a couple of days be heavily featured in a crossover promotional pay-per-view.

It's also cheaper for them not to have them on the payroll, but still have pretty much "dibs" so to speak, in case they suddenly get something cooking. Basically the whole ID thing, just not in an "official" way.

Unless you already have a wink wink deal set up with TNA to take them so they can continue to work WWE adjacent while on another payroll

And Gigi and Cora have not improved like at all, in fact Gigi got worse

 

[Professor Booty]

It could be a way to help out TNA by bulking up their roster of contracted talent.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

Not sure, I can see reasonings behind most of the releases but her and Cora are very odd decisions.

The Cora release hurts, especially. She was killing it during that one taping she did for TNA and I was hoping that they were just gonna keep her over there for a little bit on a sabbatical. Maybe now TNA can just hire her straight up.

 

[Cwalker]

These all suck cause there’s potential to do something with all of the talent.

Kayden and Katana along with Dakota especially.

Braun, I know he’s past his peak but he was doing some good shit with Bronson last year

And Cora is fucking shocking tbh
