Releases are a normal part of a professional wrestlers career, and WWE is no different, but some fans have noticed how they might have changed the way releases are being perceived by the media. We now have clarification regarding how WWE communities such releases to the media.
Baron Corbin, Indi Hartwell, and Tegan Nox were recently reported to have been released by WWE. For Corbin, WWE decided not to renew his contract, meaning hell become a free agent once it officially ends. These releases surprised fans, and for good reason, as these were unexpected names to see let go after remaining with the company for so many years.
While speaking on Fightful Selects Q&A podcast, Sean Ross Sapp was asked whether WWE had softened its approach to announcing releases to the media. Sapp stated that he hadnt noticed any direct change in how WWE handles it. He clarified that the term departures was simply a choice his team made, not WWEs wording.
They used it because they were still confirming whether Tegan Nox and Indi Hartwell were actually released or if their contracts were expiring. He added that Triple H had shown concern over wording differences earlier this year, so they wanted to be careful.
We have also reported that there isnt any possibility of WWE releasing more talent anytime soon following their recent series of cuts. Regardless, WWE will continue to handle releases the way they see fit and thats unlikely to change anytime soon.
Do you believe that WWE should focus on building their underutilized talent more instead of releasing them? Let us know in the comments section below!
