Backstage Notes On WWE Releases – As noted, WWE made the several talent releases this evening, you can chck out the full list at this link.
WWE Talent Relations head John Laurinaitis issued a company-wide e-mail this evening and noted that the 18 releases were made due to budget cuts, according to Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful.
While most NXT wrestlers have 30-day non-compete clauses, some, such as Lorcan, are under 90-day non-competes. The ones under 30-day non-competes will be able to work for anyone they want beginning Saturday, December 4, while the ones under 90-day non-competes will become free agents on Wednesday, February 2, 2022. These dates are assuming the releases are effective as of today, November 4.
On a related note, PWInsider reports that WWE canceled certain training classes at the WWE Performance Center scheduled for tomorrow morning.
Stay tuned for more. Below are related tweets from the released talents who have commented as of this writing:
