I don't know a single one of those names.















I feel a deep sense of pride about that.

Don't know 80% of those names as I don't keep up daily, Anderson/Gallows a bit of a surprise. Rowan maybe as well

Angle hasn't done anything in a while

Guess since AJ is dead the good brothers are expendable. EC3 is probably thrilled

Some of these names are surprising but they've been needing to clean house.

Don’t watch wrestling these days but enjoy Curt Hawkins on The Major Wrestling Figure Podcast with Zach Ryder.

He was know as always “Cheap Curt”, so hopefully he pinched his pennies for a situation like this.

Ryder will have plenty of time to do the podcast now that he's been cut too.

A lot of them are producers for the house shows and talent only used at house shows. The OC is surprising considering they just got long big money contracts. The others like Lio Rush and Drake Maverick probably had Main roster deals since they got called up and used for months. NXT base pay is low but it's normally offset by WWE paying for all travel and travel expenses...unlike main roster deals where the money is built into their salaries.

I didn't realize some were already on the roster. Rush and OC are the only 3 I could imagine AEW being interested in if all things were equal/ contracts be damned.

Wildfire Tommy Rich and Ricky Morton will work for a bag of weed. Time for replacements.

Are they really getting laid off or are they just faking it?
