Fans were shocked when WWE released numerous top talents in 2020 due to budget cuts. The released wrestlers included major stars like Karl Anderson, Luke Gallows, and EC3.

The list of 2021 releases included even more shocking names like Bray Wyatt and Braun Strowman. While the total count of WWE wrestlers released in 2021 is above 70, fans wonder how many stars were released in November alone.

How many wrestlers have been released by WWE in November 2021?

The answer is 26, as of November 20th. Wrestlers released in the 11th month include major names like John Morrison, Keith Lee and Karrion Kross.

On the good side, WWE has made sure that they rehire some of the wrestlers they have released. Samoa Joe and Zelina Vega are two of the stars WWE rehired after being let go. Hopefully, WWE will rehire some of the other stars they released in 2021.

Fans and observers are already bewildered by what the promotion is doing or what direction they are truly headed in. Even longtime members of the WWE Universe have begun to worry if their favorite wrestler may be the next one to receive his or her pink slip.

Here is the list of all wrestlers released in 2021 so far:

  1. Keith Lee
  2. Karrion Kross

While some names don't come as a surprise, stars like Keith Lee, John Morrison, and Nia Jax were some of the company's major names. Morrison and Jax have achieved significant success on the main roster while Keith Lee was one of the biggest stars in NXT.

It is sad to see so many talented individuals getting released from their contracts. We at Sportskeeda wish them a good look for their future goals.
