The WWE have been swinging the axe in 2021 to cut their roster in order to adapt to the unfavourable financial climate.
There has scarcely been a company or an industry worldwide that hasn’t been adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Unfortunately for Vince McMahon, the WWE is among those whose finances have been ravaged.
As a result, the company has had little choice but to make considerable cuts to their roster. It has, of course, been an opportunity for those pulling the strings to cull the fighters they no longer want around.

In total, there have been 80 fighters who have had their WWE contracts terminated or not renewed since the pandemic began, with the Metro providing the full list of names of those who have been released.
There is no doubt that the value of the WWE has plummeted with the departure of some of these fighters. Who are you most disappointed to see the back of, wrestling fans?
