With the wrap-up of classic WrestleMania 42, which became an instant wrestling sensation, WWE has now kicked off its post-WrestleMania shake-up.
As the WrestleMania shake-up is underway, most big names are already among early cuts.
The company started releases on Friday, April 24, less than a week after a buzzing event held in Las Vegas.
For context, WWE releases wrestlers on an annual basis, with the last release happening in February 2025.
As per media reports, a number of big names have either been let go or they have themselves decided to step aside.
The list includes former champions and people that were just inside the ring last month.
