Last night, WWE shockingly released 18 superstars from their WWE contracts. This list included former WWE Raw Women’s Champion, Nia Jax, and former NXT Champions, Keith Lee and Karrion Kross.
This came as a shocker for everyone involved in the pro wrestling business because Vince McMahon and company labeled these recent firings to – “budget cuts”. However, in this week’s AEW Rampage edition, Max Caster took shots on these recent firings and silenced Bryan Danielson, aka Daniel Bryan, in WWE.

While entering, Caster was doing his freestyle as usual. However, this time he upped the ante by rhyming the words which ended with WWE’s recent firing and Bryan Danielson’s connection with WWE.
John Laurinaitis works with WWE as the head of talent relations and is also the father-in-law of Bryan Danielson. And when Caster mentioned this relationship in his freestyle, the crowd’s reaction said it all.
“I’m gonna put you in poverty dawg, because I’m ending careers quicker than your father-in-law,”
