WWE is reportedly parting ways with several superstars. Fightful's Sean Ross Sapp reported on Friday that WWE has cut ties with notable wrestlers Braun Strowman, Shayna Baszler, Dakota Kai, Katana Chance, Kayden Carter, Gigi Dolan and Jakara Jackson. Additionally, Cora Jade, Eddy Thorpe and Riley Osborne took to social media to confirm they have also parted ways with the company.
Reports indicate that further WWE releases could be confirmed in the coming days. Strowman, 41, stands tallest on the list after previously receiving his walking papers from WWE in June 2021. The former WWE Universal Champion returned to the company in September 2022 and has been a fixture on "WWE SmackDown," feuding with the new United States Champion Jacob Fatu in recent weeks.
Just two weeks ago, Strowman and LA Knight took on Fatu and Solo Sikoa in a tag-team match. Kai and Dolan have also made relatively recent appearances on WWE programming. Kai was a part of the first Women's Intercontinental title match opposite the now-champion, Lyra Valkyria.
For Dolan, her last match came alongside Tatum Paxley when they lost a Women's Tag Team Championship match against the champions, Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez. Regarding the tag team division, Chance and Carter were a well-established duo, who competed in the recent gauntlet match before WrestleMania 41 to set up Morgan and Rodriguez's eventual clash against Valkyria and Becky Lynch. "WWE SmackDown" will air Friday, hours after news of these releases came to light.
