#3 More WWE Superstars set to be released soon

WWE has already released multiple superstars from WWE and NXT after WrestleMania 37. Some of the big names to have departed include Samoa Joe, Bo Dallas, Chelsea Green, and Velveteen Dream, among others.

As per PWInsider, multiple more releases are underway in WWE. While most of these exits will be from the backstage side of things, many NXT UK superstars are also expected to leave the company well. The report also stated that some of the names that have been released have come as a shock to the people who have survived these budget cuts.

"There are said to be a lot of others who were let go today, to the point that multiple WWE staffers who survived the cuts have expressed their shock and surprise at how important some of the names have been. There is a belief that some divisions may even be folded in together going forward."

Unfortunately, multiple more WWE employees will be laid off by the company.
