What happened that all you journos started labeling releases as “departures” feels icky bro

2024-11-02 20:47:09 +0000 UTCYou must just like to talk because that’s no way, shape or form tribalism.
Christopher Hendrix
2024-11-02 00:44:03 +0000 UTCIndi wrestling on Smackdown right now is wild. I know they pre-recorded it but still. Your match is being televised on the day you got fired.

Matthew Brownlee
2024-11-02 00:18:02 +0000 UTCTegan should have left for AEW last time when their roster could have used her. I feel badly for Corbin. He gives them whatever they need from him.

2024-11-02 00:07:23 +0000 UTCThat makes zero sense but spout off that tribalism!
Trevor D.
2024-11-01 23:57:34 +0000 UTCAlso who makes the final say on these, TKO heads or creative??
Stephen Bradley
2024-11-01 23:51:01 +0000 UTCDo we know how management decides on who gets cut whenever they decide to do Rounds Lack of plans on their side, in-ring/ promo quality etc
Stephen Bradley
2024-11-01 23:50:34 +0000 UTCAh thank you for clarifying
Jamal Johnson
2024-11-01 23:36:43 +0000 UTCNot the 2 women they were released.
Scott Newcomb
2024-11-01 23:35:43 +0000 UTCWhat happen to Candice LeRae now? Indi and here were a team
Sokun Ros
2024-11-01 23:28:21 +0000 UTCWith consistently signing more and more talent while leaving their current to do nothing, releasing Indi is genuinely close to my breaking point with consistently watching WWE.
Alexander Coulson
2024-11-01 23:14:12 +0000 UTCTegan Nox said on Instagram last week, behind the subscription paywall, that she had been very sick for the past couple months but was looking forward to coming back soon. So, that explains why she was so scarce on TV, at least partly.
Greg Luca
2024-11-01 23:10:08 +0000 UTCNXT Women’s division is so deep that they were bound to start cutting some women. It sucks, obviously, because it’s never a good thing to see people losing their jobs, but it’s a competitive business and if you aren’t moving up you’re probably going to move out because there’s always another crop of young and talented performers coming up behind you. Teagen, unfortunately, kind of got derailed by injuries. That’s the bit that is particularly harsh to me about her getting let go. As they say in the NFL all the time, though, sometimes the most important ability is availability.
Benjamin Brown
2024-11-01 23:09:59 +0000 UTCSo are these like contract expires I know ?
Jamal Johnson
2024-11-01 23:09:51 +0000 UTCAt some point they gotta actually build up some guys they aren’t using, rather than just jumping at every WWE cut
Waltrezel
2024-11-01 23:06:57 +0000 UTCHonestly not really surprised by any of these. Maybe Baron. But Indi and Tegan never really did much for me.
Marq
2024-11-01 22:55:26 +0000 UTCDamn that sucks, I really like Corbin, think he has been criminally under used, would love to see him in AEW.
Craig Robertson
2024-11-01 22:47:51 +0000 UTCWWE’s aren’t legally qualified as non competes like the ones in legal litigation because wwe pays talent through the duration of them
Justmask
2024-11-01 22:42:41 +0000 UTCTegan doesn’t surprise me at all, Indi sort of does, but I’m shocked at Corbin’s departure. He wasn’t doing anything in the ring, but he’s apparently very well-liked backstage and always seemed like one of Triple H‘s guys, I thought for sure he’d be a lifer and they’d move him into a producer role or something.
GC
2024-11-01 22:42:22 +0000 UTCIndie will debut at Grand Slam Australia and Tegan around that same time?
Alvin Porras
2024-11-01 22:40:06 +0000 UTCBro Tegan Nox again??? God that fucking sucks for her
UntoldUnknown
2024-11-01 22:33:22 +0000 UTCBaron's contract is expiring but the 2 are releases
Osuman Massaquoi
2024-11-01 22:32:24 +0000 UTCThey haven't done a damn thing with tegan in months and she posted something recently where she hinted at being frustrated over WWE having nothing for her. I'm sure she will land somewhere else,they will all be fine
Rj
2024-11-01 22:32:06 +0000 UTCMy bad. I just remember that being a big thing at one point
Kaleb Cenite
2024-11-01 22:31:25 +0000 UTCWriting was on the wall for Corbin unfortunately. Really wish he got a fair shot on the main roster under his current gimmick
Mohamed Saffee
2024-11-01 22:31:12 +0000 UTCWWE pays there workers during the non-compete so it isn't covered by that law change. That was more for tech industry stuff where they don't allow you to work in the same industry for a certain amount of time and DO NOT pay you during that time.
Ripner Cabbit
2024-11-01 22:31:10 +0000 UTCIs this all for cuts?
Laura Castiglioni
2024-11-01 22:31:06 +0000 UTCnah that's caught up in federal lawsuit forever.
TorchCrawler
2024-11-01 22:30:54 +0000 UTCCorbin Baron to the Hurt Syndicate!!!!
Excellence of Flexecution
2024-11-01 22:27:47 +0000 UTCI thought people did away with Non competes? Wasn’t there just a big thing about that like a month or two ago?
Kaleb Cenite
2024-11-01 22:27:46 +0000 UTCThis sucks
John Witte
2024-11-01 22:26:44 +0000 UTCCuts
Christopher Hendrix
2024-11-01 22:24:58 +0000 UTCJust seen it was cuts
Christopher Hendrix
2024-11-01 22:24:07 +0000 UTCDoing something in AEW is better than what WWE has him doing. Underutilized and unappreciated
Christopher Hendrix
2024-11-01 22:22:04 +0000 UTCCorbin was a Vince guys kind of feels like once Vince was out of power his days felt numbered. I was never a big fan of Baron but his second run in NXT was great & The Wolf Dogs definitely should of had a run together. I guess he falls in the Lashley Boogs Elias & Moss tier been a favorite of the old regime not the new one. Nox just never got going unfortunately not her fault got to blame the new regime for that. Hartwell very surprising her & Candice have had regular tv time & I was enjoying there heel act & they had a feud with Candice & Bsyley set up. Indi wasn’t a great wrestler but her being Candice heater could of been a good role
Matt Hennessy
2024-11-01 22:20:02 +0000 UTCNooo, Indi! 😭
Dorian Lecter
2024-11-01 22:20:00 +0000 UTCShe is.
James Bishop
2024-11-01 22:19:48 +0000 UTCTegan Nox (Nixon Newell) as well
Sorastro
2024-11-01 22:19:02 +0000 UTCOh fuck..
Rei
2024-11-01 22:18:47 +0000 UTCJust so he can nothing?
Collin Ingram
2024-11-01 22:18:43 +0000 UTCI did NOT expect INDI at all. I bet the girls are so sad for her. WOW
Brandon
2024-11-01 22:18:32 +0000 UTCWow🤦🏾♂️
Mannie Conish III
2024-11-01 22:18:27 +0000 UTCIndi is a big surprise as I thought they were pushing her with Candice. Unfortunately it did seem there was nothing for Baron and Tegan though.
MB
2024-11-01 22:17:53 +0000 UTCI think he could kill it in a tag team there but he might have more upside as a singles guy in Japan.
Chris Kessler
2024-11-01 22:17:47 +0000 UTCHe's definitely underrated.
Matthew Bamford
2024-11-01 22:17:23 +0000 UTCI feel bad for all 3. Teagan always got back luck with injuries. Indi was onto something winning the NXT title before being hurt and then forgotten about. Corbin worked his ass off the get better, did so and was the poster child of shit booking in the late Vince era. HHH never had any interest in him it seems. Corbin should go to NJPW, he low key would kill it out there. Indi has a lot of untapped potential that AEW could use. TNA seems like a good spot for Teagan to rebuild her career.
Chris Kessler
2024-11-01 22:16:53 +0000 UTCI would absolutely take Baron Corbin in AEW!
Ali Khan
2024-11-01 22:16:30 +0000 UTCWow
JD Larson
2024-11-01 22:16:28 +0000 UTCWhy
Shawn Garner
2024-11-01 22:15:59 +0000 UTCWow damn
Brendan Bdotlion Beal
2024-11-01 22:15:31 +0000 UTCI am going to Miss Indi, Baron, Tegan Nox they are great wrestlers when they leave WWE.
James Pittman
2024-11-01 22:15:22 +0000 UTCAint Indi in a match airing tonight? Of the three thays the only one that really shocks me.
Justin Reid
2024-11-01 22:15:18 +0000 UTCBaron and Tegan I’m not surprised. Indi feels incredibly frustrating given how she’s always been able to get everything she’s involved in over.
Kyle Cotton
2024-11-01 22:15:04 +0000 UTCContract expiring or release? I'm kind of surprised about Indi as she has been active on TV recently.
