Backstage Details On Latest Round Of WWE Releases – Late Friday evening brought news of WWE releases, including former world champion Jinder Mahal, Xia Li, Xyon Quinn, and the Indus Sher duo of Sanga and Veer.
According to PWInsider.com, there are no additional WWE releases expected at this time. However, reports indicate a notable difference in how these releases were handled compared to past instances.
Sources reveal that the process of informing talent was marked by a more apologetic and respectful approach from WWE higher-ups. Unlike previous instances characterized by abrupt, all-business calls, this time, there was a palpable sense of empathy and consideration for the affected wrestlers.
The decision for the cuts was reportedly based on several factors, including the talent’s lack of television appearances due to creative direction and their upward trajectory within the company.
As news spread online and wrestlers at the WWE SmackDown taping on Friday caught wind of the situation, it was noted that there were no official memos sent to talent or staff, as WWE no longer publicly announces releases.
Jinder Mahal, who recently appeared at a WWE NXT taping, was described as helpful and offering advice to others, contrary to his claim of “quitting” on social media. Xia Li, who had been working closely with Shawn Michaels, was even advertised for Monday’s battle royal before her release.
Notably, there were no specific incidents cited as reasons for the releases, and all released talent were reportedly well-liked within the company.
