News behind Dolph Ziggler and Aliyah's releases.
Added 2023-09-21 19:59:01 +0000 UTCWWE releases unfortunately unfolded today.
Among them is Dolph Ziggler, who actually was ready to leave WWE years ago, but got talked into staying with the company. Those that we spoke to this week said that originally, his WWE deal was set to extend into next Summer.
Aaliyah was a name that many in WWE expected to be on the list. She'd been signed with the company since 2015, and was drafted to Smackdown in 2021, but barely used. She did become a Tag Team Champion, but had not wrestled on or off television once in over a year since losing the titles. We were told that she was rarely if ever brought to TV, and was not factored in creatively.

Today absolutely sucked ass. All of those that got laid off are more talented than anyone posting online.

2023-09-22 01:42:13 +0000 UTCToday definitely proves how having alternative wrestling companies thriving is a good thing, and how stupid it is for people (clowns) to wish any company dies.

2023-09-21 23:00:57 +0000 UTCThere’s the issue in the entire business of so many people and not enough spots.

2023-09-21 20:39:49 +0000 UTCI know cuts are normal during mergers but I’m wondering does WWE have the same problem as AEW? Too many people and not enough space for them all to grow? We can blame creative all day for not coming up with stories but there comes a point when you have too many people. Hopefully everyone lands on their feet in another promotion. Bring back branded PLEs so the lower card talent has some time to build up and have feuds.
