Latest WWE Releases 2024
It is always a delightful moment when any wrestling talent gets their contract and welcomes from WWE. However, it is also a shocking period when WWE terminates any superstar contract. Last year, wrestling websites and the social media platforms of wrestling fans all over the world were barraged with insight about significant WWE discharges. For example, Shane McMahon, Samoa Joe, Cesaro, Mandy Rose, and a lot of other remarkable male or female WWE superstars. While the adjustment of the system and power structure inside WWE has prompted huge rehirings. There have still been a few stunning terminations that have surprised a lot of fans with their declarations.

Latest WWE Superstars Released in 2024
Jinder Mahal
On April 19, 2024, Jinder Mahal was released from his contract. This marked the end of his second stint with the company. The former WWE Champion's return to prominence in early 2024 was short-lived. After a segment with The Rock and a title challenge against Seth Rollins, his appearances became infrequent. Some have suggested this lack of utilization might have been a reason for the departure. While Mahal initially took to social media to announce his exit with an "I Quit. Maharaja Out" message, it was later clarified that he had been released from his contract, not that he resigned. He is currently on a 90-day non-compete clause.
Xyon Quinn
Xyon Quinn, like Jinder Mahal, found himself out of WWE on April 19th, 2024. This marked the end of his six-year run with the company, though he never secured a major title. Despite the setback, Quinn remains optimistic. He took to social media hinting at a return to the ring in 90 days, suggesting a non-compete clause.
Xia Li
Xia Li was a part of the roster cuts by WWE on April 19, 2024. Alongside Mahal and Quinn, it was announced that WWE had parted ways with Xia Li as well. She took to X to announce her departure from the company. Li was widely considered the biggest Chinese wrestler in WWE.
Sanga
Sanga, one-half of the former tag team Indus Sher with Veer Mahaan, was released by WWE on April 19, 2024. This came as part of a larger talent cutback by the company. Sanga's release was particularly interesting because he, along with his tag team partner, was seen as a potential way to tap into the massive Indian wrestling market. Following his departure, Sanga took to social media expressing a mix of emotions. He thanked WWE for the opportunities but also voiced his frustration that while WWE desired an Indian audience, they seemed hesitant to push Indian talent.
Veer Mahaan
Alongside Sanga, his Indus Sher teammate Veer Mahaan, too, was released by WWE on April 19, 2024. Known for his imposing presence, Mahaan previously known as Rinku Rajput, is now a free agent.
