WWE Releases Major Stars Amid Roster Cuts

WWE has released several notable superstars, including former Universal Champion Braun Strowman, Shayna Baszler, Dakota Kai, Katana Chance, Kayden Carter, and rising NXT talent Cora Jade, amid a wave of roster cuts during a profitable period for the company. Strowman's release was reportedly due to his high salary and ongoing injury issues following his 2022 return. The cuts have sparked surprise and disappointment among fans and insiders, with speculation that WWE is seeking to refresh its roster and create opportunities for new talent. Former WWE personalities, such as Mojo Rawley, have predicted that many of the released wrestlers will secure lucrative opportunities elsewhere. Some, like Baszler and Strowman, may take a break or consider retirement, while others are expected to join other promotions or the independent circuit. The long-term impact of these roster changes on WWE's talent landscape remains uncertain.
