Last month, WWE stunned the wrestling community by releasing several prominent stars, such as Xyon Quinn, Xia Li, Jinder Mahal, Von Wagner, and Cameron Grimes. The trend continued last week with more talent exits, prompting some to speak up.
Among those released in the recent NXT cuts was Olympic Gold Medalist Gable Steveson. Another notable departure was Valentina Feroz, who had been with the brand since 2020.
