The list included Wes Lee, Stevie Turner, Lance Anoa’i, and others. In addition, Ridge Holland announced on Monday that his WWE contract was not being renewed.
Fightful Select Answers Q&A was asked if the current round of cuts is complete and has confirmed it is. While there will of course be turnover as WWE works with its developmental program and recruits new talent, the bulk release is complete for now.
After the company released a number of WWE ID and LFG talent in the round of cuts such as Kylie Rae, Jin Tala, Summer Sorrell, BJ Ray, and Jamar Hampton, they announced on Wednesday’s episode of Evolve that the next WWE ID class will be announced soon.
Holland’s exit reportedly led to disappointmet among talent, specifically in that his deal was being allowed to expire while he was injured working a match.
