If Dolph goes to AEW all they have to do is call him a guy who was a failure in WWE and they kill the man’s whole career :lol

Gonna assume the main roster ones are finished now, so it's actually strange seeing a release wave that looks thought out and the names involved make sense. Yeah it sucks for the people involved losing their jobs but none of the names jump out as shocks like previously where we were like WTF?

Yeah all of these seem logical and planned as the vast majority were not used. Ali is shocking only because he was now being used

NXT ppl that haven't been used in a while prob in the crosshairs. I'm gonna say Cora might be a shocker one to go

Plus they can use the money saved from these contracts to put towards the people they want to re-sign in the coming months. It feels harsh but makes total business sense.

I’m wondering if Dolph asked for his release and knew it was coming. Either that or his deal was close to being up. Because Ryan’s tweet the other day had a drop of blood and an hour glass included with his photo of him and Dolph. So, almost makes me feel he knew his brother would be free soon.

as far as ''business sense'' what makes the most business sense to me is not sign people you have no intention of allowing to finish their contracts. that is all

Very possible but he also seems like a guy totally happy to ride out his contract getting paid for doing things other than wrestling. It's also very possible he's on a notable salary and they just straight up cut him since he wasn't being used like the rest of them.

To think Shelton Benjamin was considered one of the OVW stars along with Brock Lesnar Batista John Cena and Randy Orton

I wouldn't be shocked if he joins Wrestling Royalty.
