Dolph is the interesting one. I could see him just as easily retiring from wrestling as I could showing up in AEW with his brother.
Cuts happen during any big merger/acquisition.

Discovery gutted Warner Media Group after the merger/acquisition was finalized last year.

Some of these folks might return on 'cheaper' deals, can go work the indies, or try to sign with AEW, Impact, etc.

Not to mention none of these names "matter".

Dolph and Shelton are the only ones that boggle my mind as far as creative not being able to do anything with.

Yeah 100% of those names make sense. None of those people have added anything to the product for a long time if ever.

Re: WWE Releases

Dolph and Shelton to this day could work a good to great match with a broom. They both should have done way more in their careers, but never really got the kind of shot that matters. Shelton in particular.

Sucks they couldn't do anything else with MMM, it was a funny gimmick. Mace I felt like could've done a better job at a Velveteen Dream like gimmick.

Surprised Shankys gone right before their India show.

Dabba Kato could've been decent too, his size alone like Omos made him stand out.

Not many names from this list I'm too surprised by.

Re: WWE Releases

Wow... this is just awful timing.

Emma: Happy for a PLE in Australia and she gets to perform in her home country.

*5 seconds later*

Emma:

Emma released right after they announced a PLE in Australia sucks, same with Shanky gone when they're going to India.

They still have Rhea and Indi (and Nia...), but would've been nice having Emma in that one too. Besides that though, nothing else has been notable for her.

Re: WWE Releases

Not to be a jerk about it, but I doubt those live crowds would have cared if Emma or Shanky were on those shows. With rare exception, those international crowds just want to see the WWE product. I remember when WWE did a huge stadium in Australia a while back, the IIconics came out to zero reaction. They want to see the stars of past and present.
