• WWE Tried Re-Signing Recently Released Stars But Got Rejected
WWE recently let go of 12 talents from its developmental system. The list of names includes Wes Lee, Stevie Turner, Lance Anoa’i, Zara Zakher, Drako Knox, Jamar Hampton, Jin Tala, Haze Jameson, Summer Sorrell, Brayden “BJ” Ray, Kylie Rae and Zayda Steel. Most of these talents had been working across NXT, EVOLVE, LFG and ID shows.
After the news of the departures broke, Bryan Alvarez of the Wrestling Observer reported that more releases were being planned in the coming week. However, Fightful Select now states that WWE is not planning to fire anyone else from its developmental brands at this time.
The report also mentioned that the company had tried to bring back a few of the released talents, but they turned down the offers. WWE made the cuts to let go names who weren’t making progress, and the company is actively looking to sign new wrestlers.
All of the wrestlers from the latest round of cuts were either released by WWE or saw their contracts expire. The only exception was Zayda Steel, who personally chose not to renew her ID contract.
