That’s Why? Details On WWE’s Reasoning Behind Recent Releases

This includes letting some wrestlers go every now and then, despite their contracts not being up yet. As a result, this can cause some backlash, especially with the company having some odd reasons. That seems to be the case again with some recent releases.

Last week, WWE released a group of wrestlers (Jinder Mahal, Xia Li, Xyon Quinn, Sanga and Veer). According to Fightful Select by way of Cagesideseats.com, the wrestlers were released due to a combination of how long they have been with the company, a lack of upward trajectory and how long they had been with the company. According to internal WWE sources though, the releases were said to be due to budget cuts. There is no word on if more releases are scheduled.

Opinion: This is one of those things that might not make a lot of sense on the surface but it does make for a rough stretch.
