It’s a legitimately terrifying time as a fan, and I could only imagine how scary it must be for the actual talent. All these releases happening almost weekly, and they all seem so spontaneous. They cut top stars like Bray Wyatt and Braun Strowman not that long ago. Literally anyone could be next for all we know.
If they release someone like Asuka, who has been an absolute workhorse from day 1 (especially during the pandemic era), or Kevin Owens and/or Sami Zayn, people who the fans adore and can still put on a great performance with everything they’re given, then this company has officially lost their minds, and they will be losing me as a fan once again. I’m praying that no more top stars and talented wrestlers have to lose their jobs because of some BS.

I'm gonna sound insensitive for a moment, but I can remember a time where WWEs roster was super bloated with too many wrestlers to know what to do with. For years there would not be the yearly releases, meaning barely anyone got fired but they'd bring in more talent. Now Vince has given Nick Khan the power to make necessary decisions in a business mind to maximize profit. This means people have to go. Now I've never seen it this bad where many wrestlers would get released in a year. I'm sorry, but releases are necessary. You gotta cycle talent in and out. Now Vince has approved some questionable release, some in the middle of storylines, but they're doing what should have been done for years. New talent coming in, talent goes out. If rumors are to be believed, there's gonna be more releases coming soon.
I know what I'm saying is not the popular thing to say, but it's my opinion. Personally I don't wish or hope for people losing their jobs, but its business.

Kevin Owens will be gone. Im sure Vince hates his scruffy look.

Owens is Mount Rushmore for life. He’d be signed to AEW in 90 days and one minute if he got released.

NXT Releases I predict:
1. Danny Burch: 39 2. Hideki Suzuki: 41 3. Kushida: 38 (also barely knows English) 4. LA Knight: 38 5. Timothy Thatcher: 38 6. Drake Maverick: 38 (no coming back this time)

Every time I see this thread gets a reply my initial thought is "uh oh I wonder who's gone now?".

You guys are nuts. LA Knight is awesome. I'd add him to the main roster right after SummerSlam.

A distinct lack of shorter and less muscular men at the Vegas tryout going on currently.

Assuming more NXT talents will be released in the next week.Could see some of the older talents getting cut.As crazy as it might sound I think it would be a really good idea long term if the WWE cut a bulk of their 40 plus year old talents.Not saying they can't go in the ring but most have done everything meaningful that they are going to do in WWE and would make way for younger talent,also would put some fire under Vince and companies ass to actually create new stars.Just look at the current main roster of talents that are 40 or turning 40 this year and older that are full time.
AJ Styles Bobby Lashley Bobby Roode Cesaro Finn Balor Jeff Hardy John Morrison Kofi Kingston The Miz MVP R-Truth Randy Orton Rey Mysterio Sheamus Shelton Benjamin Shinsuke Nakamura
That's a ton of talent on the back nine of their careers.Paul Heyman once said years ago if he took over TNA(around the time Hogan came in) that he would cut all the talent 40 plus baring a name or two,think he might have had a point.I wouldn't go that extreme but would only keep four or five guys in that age bracket.

NXT Japan was apparently bailed on this past week, offices and everything. Was Kairi Sane still working around there?
