WWE released too many pro-wrestlers from their contracts in 2021. It reached a point where the company making releases wasn’t even a shock anymore. It was just daily business.
Unfortunately, for the fans and the company, it might be a decision. But, for the pro-wrestlers it’s the end of their dreams.

Former WWE Superstar EJ Nduka spoke to Wrestling Inc about the type of sacrifices pro-wrestlers make to chase this dream. Getting an opportunity with WWE is massive for anyone aspiring to be a pro-wrestler, but when they get released without notice, it’s difficult to jump back from that point.
“It’s a big deal, man. We moved all the way from Southern California when we originally came over to Orlando. My wife had recently just graduated law school, I had a very successful medical spa business that I was doing. I ended up selling it to come chase this dream.”
“As fans and people outside of the business, you don’t realize a lot of these people uproot their entire families. They have jobs, they have careers, they have things that they were doing before they got this opportunity.” H/t Wrestling Inc
This is not the first time someone has spoken about the significant impact that the sudden release has on pro-wrestlers.
