WWE has released many talents in the past few weeks. Ever since the pandemic began, the company has fired many superstars due to budget cuts. Some of these superstars were really big names and were fan favorites.

WWE has made some shocking releases since last year. Among the superstars released are top talents like Andrade, Braun Strowman, and Aleister Black. Although they got released, Black and Andrade made their way to AEW to get a new push. Since 2020, the company has released over 200 superstars.

The wrestling fans were shocked by the recent few releases over the past month featuring Karrion Kross, Keith Lee, Nia Jax, John Morrison, Tegan Nox, and Hit Row.

As per the reports, they even called Drake Maverick up to the main roster, but there were not many plans around his journey.

Also, Tegan Nox had no new plans for her brand selection. WWE did not allocate her brand switch until she debuted on SmackDown for a short tenure. Later, it was revealed on social media that she had cut from her tag team.

There are not any specific reports regarding Hit Row. Although they proved to be a good team on the NXT brand, they failed to get a push on the roster with a single match before their release. Top Dolla was made the leader of the group, but things changed in the end, releasing Hit Row from the company.

Top Dolla was also praised for his hosting skills and commitment to the Hit Row squad, according to one source. Before they went in a new way, WWE had chosen him to host Raw Underground.

While talking about Jaxson, sources reveal he lacked the character build. Although he gave his best to keep heat with Elias, he failed to give the fans a good run.
