So... where's Shinsuke, Gargano, Candice...

Black was rumored to have a back rash for 4 years that prevented him for laying down.

So I wasn't wrong earlier...

MLW just signed Kilian Dain this week too so he should immediately contact Nikki Cross.

With Ciampa on AEW TV it wouldn't surprise me if they don't get released.

Fair point. I forgot for a second what company this is about :lol

Let me cook

Mina needs help with Shida and Statlander. Bring in Kairi, and they feud with them two. They win the feud and eventually win the tag titles together.

Then Toni comes back and we find out Kairi was who attacked Toni

Then you have to choose...did Mina know or not know. Im leaning towards she knew...

You want a WWE-contracted Wrestler to be the person who attacked and shelved Toni?

Well she would've been at the time sure. But then we can have heel Kairi and Mina as a badasss joshi tag team.

The Wyatts didn’t get over . The new call ups are better . NXT has some great talent

CFCrusader · Apr 24, 2026

Jeez, that's a lot of people being released.

I'm guessing MCMG go to AEW, but I hope they can stop by MLP in the summer. Considering the partnership & they're D'Amore guys, I think it's likely - but you never know. Please make it happen Scott.

Also, I can imagine TNA being interested in Dexter Lumis/Sam Shaw (especially for the nostalgia), as well as the NXT releases (Tyson and Tyriek already wrestled there previously). I'm a little surprised Tyra Mae Steele got released, mainly because I remember her being on NXT last year a few times.

Sha-J Lee · Apr 24, 2026

Man releasing Kairi Sane is absolute insanity. Literally one of the best wrestlers on the roster. Fucking bums.

Also Aleister. Man I love that dude, such a cool gimmick.

And MCMG. Yeah look this doesn’t surprise me. They were never gonna do well in WWE, they’re way more suited for AEW.

Looji Nagata · Apr 24, 2026

TKO clearly taking a page out of Vince's book and simply don't care about in-ring work/talent.

Or let's say it's not in their top 5 priorities, when it comes to workers, I'd say.

Brett · Apr 24, 2026

Honestly one incredibly slept on release, fucking Uhaa Nation man. He's been completely neutered for fucking years, but joining up with Ricochet and the Demand would be fucking glorious. Bookmark this shit.

Orrrr the Hurts

Dexter doing things the Dexter way

Brett · Apr 24, 2026

Also goes without saying, I hope every one of these folks lands on there feet and find places to work.

I'm interested to see how exactly contracts work with TNA being so aligned with WWE officially now. I can't remember if Ali, Cedric, Indi, etc. were released pre-relationship and how that went.
