WWE has been under fire from the WWE Universe because of the company releasing wrestlers left and right. On August 7th, WWE released a dozen wrestlers and a referee.

Fightful has investigated the releases to a high-level WWE official. Apparently, the official had agreed to speak, but only under the veil of anonymity. The official remarked that back in 2018, WWE entered a “talent stashing” mode with genuine hopes of getting new talents.

Fightful reported that “many pitches involved collecting talent, developing Performance Centers worldwide, and supplementing each Performance Center with native and international talent, with some traveling between global territories.”

This isn’t good news for the wrestlers and the fans. Both have to keep an eye over their shoulders. It could take a serious toll on the mental health of the wrestlers as they will have this thought at the back of their minds. But to be fair, WWE couldn’t have foreseen the pandemic when they started their talent search.
