A recent report has shed light on WWE's massive plans after they recently released several popular names. According to reports, 12 stars have been let go as of October 10, 2025.
Popular names were released ahead of WWE Crown Jewel 2025
Ahead of Crown Jewel 2025, World Wrestling Entertainment made some shocking releases. None of the stars released by the company were competing on the main roster. However, some of the most popular names from NXT, ID, and Evolve were let go, including Wes Lee, Stevie Turner, and real-life Bloodline star, Lance Anoa'i.
A recent report suggested that more names could be released in the coming days. However, according to a new report by Fightful, the company isn't planning to let go of any more names from their developmental brands. The report also highlighted that the real reason behind these releases was the company cycling out developmental talents, as the Stamford-based promotion is still actively recruiting new names.
Fightful also noted that World Wrestling Entertainment wanted to re-sign some names out of the 12 stars that were released as of October 10, but they outright rejected new deals from the company.
