WWE’s Latest Round of Cuts Comes at a Difficult Time for Performers

Just three days before Survivor Series, WWE made another round of cuts. The eight wrestlers let go were a surprise since it had been only two weeks since 18 other wrestlers were released.

With the eight Thursday, that made 80 wrestlers that the company had released since the start of the year. That list wouldn’t include Bryan Danielson and Adam Cole who left on their own when their contracts expired, but does include Samoa Joe, who was quickly hired back, and Andrade and Gran Metalik, who asked to be let go, and eventually were.
