With the conclusion of the classic WrestleMania 42, which became an instant wrestling sensation, WWE has now started its post-WrestleMania shake-up.
With the WrestleMania shake-up underway, most of the big names are already among the early cuts.
The company kicked off releases on Friday, April 24, less than a week after a buzzing event held in Las Vegas.
For context, WWE releases wrestlers on an annual basis, with the last release in February 2025.
According to media reports, a number of big names have either been let go or they themselves have decided to step aside.
The list includes former champions and people who were just in the ring last month.
