• WWE May Be Planning To Release More Wrestlers
WWE carried out its annual spring roster cuts last Friday, releasing 25 wrestlers across both the main roster and developmental brands. The list included several notable names, with Kairi Sane, Aleister Black, Zelina Vega, and The Wyatt Sicks all being let go, alongside multiple wrestlers from NXT, EVOLVE, and LFG.
The decision-making behind the cuts is believed to have come from WWE Chief Content Officer Triple H, who has been overseeing talent relations and creative direction across the company.
According to Bryan Alvarez of the Wrestling Observer, the current wave of releases may not be the end of it. There was originally a larger list of NXT talent expected to be cut.
While a portion of that list has already been acted on, the overall number released so far is not as high as expected, suggesting that further departures from the developmental system could still be on the way.
• WWE Fan Passes Away In Las Vegas During WrestleMania 42 Weekend
A tragic situation in Las Vegas has come to a heartbreaking end following the news that wrestling fan Marc Izard has passed away, according to The Las Vegas Review-Journal.
The 43-year-old had traveled all the way from the UK to attend WrestleMania 42 weekend. He was reported missing last week after he failed to return home or contact his family. The Clark County coroner’s office officially confirmed on Monday that Izard died on April 18, though they are still working to determine exactly how he passed away.
The search for Izard gained national attention after WWE Superstar Natalya used her platform to help find him.
Izard was last seen leaving the arena in Las Vegas after the April 17 episode of SmackDown. Natalya noted that the last known picture of him was taken at her autograph signing that same day.
His body was found along Las Vegas Boulevard South, just one day after he was last seen.
Our condolences are with Marc’s family and friends.
