WWE Releases Discussion

I wonder what's the reasoning for Lashley. Dude was kinda on top lately, not so much with the Street Profits faction, but still.

Isn't Lashley choosing to leave WWE? But I didn't know that about Tamina

WWE Hall of Famer Beth Phoenix is no longer under contract to WWE, PWInsider.com has confirmed with multiple sources.

Phoenix last wrestled for the company in 2023 and had also been working as an announce

In an update on the story from a couple of weeks ago, I have just seen a post on Fightful Select that says Bobby Lashley's contract expires this weekend.

There are plenty of ways that Lashley could cook in AEW.

• 'Hurt Business' with MVP, Hobbs, and maybe even Benjamin
• Joining Blackpool Combat Club or Suzuki Gun as a shoot wrestler
• Joining 'The Infantry' and helping them grow
• Side-questing as TNT champion
• Various NJPW side-quests including IWGP world champion
• Dominating RoH as champion, maybe even a "king and queen" angle with Queen Aminata
• Beating MJF for the US title (although the plan is obviously to have Ospreay win and change that back)

Apparently Samantha Irvin is leaving WWE. So much for her being super happy there. Such a bummer. I will miss her outstanding job so much.

Why wouldn't she? It's not like they would be the first couple to work in different promotions.

Shows what I know.

I don't think she wasn't super happy, but maybe she didn't want to stay for whatever reason.

Yeah, probably that reason is a dick attached to a man.

[M3J]

I kind of find that fishy since she stayed for few more months after he left.

Baron Corbin has been given notice that this his contract won't be renewed.

Indi Hartwell and my favourite, Tegan Nox, are also going to be leaving WWE, although it hasn't confirmed yet whether they've been released or whether, like Corbin, their contracts aren't being renewed.

Update: it has since been confirmed that Indi and Tegan are both releases, not expiring contracts.

Poor Corbin, it was clear Triple H wasn't too fond of him. Tegan and Indi, however, are more shocking. I'll miss Indi especially, girl has potential all across the board.

Corbin, just was never really able to get over no matter what

Bright side, we might now have the ability to have a wrestler that can get tremendously over and use corbin's old finisher

I disagree. I think everyone has the capacity to get over with the fans with the right setup, storyline, planification and will. Nobody gave a *Censored* about Bronson Reed until they decided to make him do his finisher 6 times on one of the company's golden boys.
