On Saturday, WWE shocked the world by making unexpected releases.
Duke Hudson, who was released earlier, was a big question for the fans as there were no reports about upcoming releases.
Two hours later, Cedric Alexander announced on X that he was released.
In the same context, Fightful's Sean Ross Sapp reported that WWE Hall of Famer and legendary manager Paul Ellering, as well as The Authors of Pain (Akam and Rezar) (AOP) were released.
They were released before in 2020, before making their return to the company in 2023.
Sonya Deville was informed that her contract will not be renewed and her release from WWE shocked the locker room as she is a part of the developing story with Zoey Stark and Shayna Baszler as Pure Fusion Collective faction.
Blair Davenport also was part of the latest releases. It could be speculated that she was not booked for the Women's Royal Rumble this year, as she hasn't wrestled since November.
