"That to me is s**tty"; Former star comments on recent WWE releases

WWE released a lot of big names before last week's SmackDown, including stars like Braun Strowman and Dakota Kai. Former WWE star Sonya Deville recently shared her opinion about the latest releases on her Daria & Toni Unwrapped podcast.

The Stamford-based promotion's move was part of what fans refer to as "Spring Cleaning." The list included names like Katana Chance, Kayden Carter, Cora Jade, and Gigi Dolin, among others.

While speaking on her podcast, Sonya Deville talked about the stars who were released in 2021 and rehired by WWE but were released again. She criticized this move by the Stamford-based promotion.

"That's like the mind-blowing part to me cause like it's one thing if you get fired from a company, It's almost worse to get rehired and then fired again. It's like we decided we really, really don't want you and that to me is s**tty." [From 6:45 - 7:00]
