Ahead of this week’s edition of SmackDown, multiple reports have revealed a new round of WWE roster cuts, including several members of the Wyatt Sicks.
The spring is a major time during the WWE calendar because it includes the all-important road to WrestleMania. The yearly mega event often serves as the conclusion of many major ongoing storylines, and the days following begin a fresh direction for the company. It also comes with an audit of the current roster.
While this time of year is a high point for fans, it is usually a period for performers to be worried about their spots on the roster. On Friday, quite a few WWE stars found out their services will no longer be needed.
The most notable releases that have been confirmed are the entire faction known as the Wyatt Sicks. Leader, Bo Dallas/Uncle Howdy, Joe Gacy, Erick Rowan, Dexter Lumis, and Nikki Cross have all reportedly been released. Another familiar name that Fightful Select reports has been let go is Santos Esobar. After his contract expired last year, the company re-signed him to a new deal, but only used him in AAA.
The lone member of Chelsea Green’s Secret Her-vice, Alba Fyre, confirmed her time in the company is at an end. Injured former women’s title contender Zoey Stark is also done with WWE, and NXT veteran and leader of Chase U, Andre Chase, revealed in an X post that he is also among the roster cuts.
Fightful is also claiming that legendary TNA tag team the Motor City Machine Guns, Aleister Black and Zelina Vega, Kairi Sane, Apollo Crews, and NXT veteran Dante Chen are also among the releases this week.
In total, s15 performers are among the WWE roster cuts on Friday.
