With the recent release of prominent WWE Superstars, the main roster will have some empty spaces to fill. The Superstars released are top names and have immense potential.

Nevertheless, WWE never seems to have a shortage of talents when it comes to wrestlers. Their performance center churns out new talents every year.

In a recent tweet, Fightful’s Sean Ross Sapp, claimed that some influential names were at the WWE Performance Center today to scout talent for the main roster.

The wrestling world was just recovering from the post-WrestleMania releases when WWE dropped another bomb on the fans by releasing some more.

While this is devastating news for those wrestlers, it is somewhat of a good news for the young and upcoming wrestlers at the Performance Center.

Plainly speaking, newer talents won’t be able to break through into the main roster if the older wrestlers are still occupying the space. This sounds really bad, but in terms of business, it might be logical for the higher-ups in WWE.

By releasing a wrestler like ‘The Monster Among Men’ Braun Strowman, who, as per several reports, was employed on a hefty contract, WWE has made significant savings in the financial area.

The new talents cannot ask for a high paycheck like the one Braun had. However, in WWE’s defense, it is indeed tough to keep paying big bucks while business suffers pandemic-induced losses.

Probable reasons for WWE releasing Superstars

Just to put things into perspective, here is the full list of wrestlers who have been released: Braun Strowman, Aleister Black, Ruby Riott, Lana, Santana Garrett, Buddy Murphy.

In some reports, it was revealed that some Superstars actually wanted out of the promotion. So, for them, it might actually be a blessing in disguise.

However, it might come back to haunt WWE. Their competitors, AEW, have a pretty good record of nabbing released WWE Superstars and launching them into superstardom.

Miro and Cody Rhodes are excellent examples of the same. Both superstars had immense potential, but WWE just couldn’t utilize it to the fullest.
